Houston Paraplegia Lawyer

Spinal cord injuries can have a variety of very serious consequences, including paraplegia. Paraplegia is typically the direct result of a spinal cord injury, as the central nervous system runs through the spine. If the nervous system is compromised, the brain is unable to relay signals of movement and feeling to the extremities, since the pathway has been broken in the spinal cord. Because of the extremely serious mobility implications, paraplegia can have a devastating effect on an individual’s personal and professional livelihood.

Understanding Paraplegia

Paraplegia is similar to paralysis in that it impairs the ability to control muscle groups in the lower limbs, but the two are not exactly the same. Paralysis is the complete loss of control, feeling, and movement in the muscles. Paraplegia is typically a partial loss in the ability of control or movement. Some paraplegic patients are still able to walk in a restricted manner, though most paraplegics are confined to a wheelchair.
