Paraplegic and
Brain Injury |
Spinal Cord Injury
often leads to considerable financial losses. Only 40% of
patients with paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury are
eventually able to return to the workforce.
Paraplegia Injury is due to various causes. It typically
involves an injury to the spinal cord that can lead to
paralysis in the legs and chest or lower back.
Quadriplegia involves injury to the spine, in the cervix or neck
area.
Brain Injury is unlike a cut or a bruise, trauma to the brain is
not visible. Since the victim of a closed head injury may look
fine outwardly and appear to interact normally in casual
encounters, the victim's friends, family members, coworkers and
employers may not be able to understand or sympathize with his or
her plight. |
