Spinal Cord Injury Fact Sheet CDC Activities Prevention Tips More Injury Fact Sheets Search Injury Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): Fact Sheet O ccurrence WISQARS Allows you to form reports on injury mortality and nonfatal injury for a wide range of age groups Injury Maps Allows you to create maps of U.S. injury mortality rates Nearly 200,000 people in the U.S. live with a disability related to a spinal cord injury (SCI) (Berkowitz 1998). Approximately 11,000 Americans sustain an SCI each year (CDC unpublished data). The leading cause of SCI varies by age. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause among persons under age 65. Among persons age 65 and older, falls cause most SCIs (CDC unpublished data). Sports and recreation activities cause an estimated 18% of SCI cases (Berkowitz 1998). Consequences Secondary conditions are a major health issue for people living with SCI. Secondary conditions are negative health outcomes that occur as a direct result of a SCI-related disability. The most common secondary conditions are pressure sores, respiratory complications, urinary tract infections, spasticity, and scoliosis (Meyers 2000; McKinley 1999). Back to Top Cost SCIs cost the nation an estimated $9.7 billion each year (Berkowitz 1998).

Activist Has Whole World Chanting the V Word From Time Magazine 9/17/01 It took awhile for Eve Ensler to adjust to her nickname. People who saw her one-woman show would "scream things like 'there's the vagina lady' in shoe stores," Ensler recalled. "And you know at first it freaked me out a little to be identified as the vagina lady everywhere." But since bringing "The Vagina Monologues" to the New York stage in the mid-1990s, Ensler has struck a chord with women around the world, seeking to free up repressed feelings about sexuality and negative body images. In the process, the 48-year-old playwright has become something of a celebrity. But Ensler didn't always have it so easy. She had to fight to stage "The Vagina Monologues." Friends and supporters were skeptical. She recalled, "People were like, 'Change the title. Are you out of your mind? You can't talk about vaginas.' " Ensler did though. The show is being performed in thousands of venues all over the Earth these days. A must see. My wife and I went to the local performance of the Vagina Monologues several nights ago and we both loved it, laughed, and learned. I am putting information about this play on the sexuality and SCI page because it is about Vaginas, their special place in humanity, about a way of being sexual that is available to all- and for me; a paraplegic, and us; readers of this page, knowing about vaginas is certainly positive knowledge. -Gary

79. Therapeutic Uses Of Stem Cells For Spinal Cord Injuries However, in the past 10 years, as stem cell research has developed, new exciting possibilities have arisen for people suffering from spinal cord injury. http://www.namiscc.org/newsletters/December01/SCI-stem-cell-research.htm

NAMI SCC Website Therapeutic Uses Of Stem Cells For Spinal Cord Injuries: A New Hope Survey of Stem Cell Research and SCI We touch a flame and we feel heat; we close our fingers around a pen to pick it up. How does our body complete these functions? Every sensation, action and thought revolves around the complicated processes of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the central computer of our body interpreting outside information and controlling every action. The spinal cord connects the brain with the rest of the body by sending out millions of electrical signals. When there is injury to the spinal and this connection breaks paralysis occurs. As of now spinal cord damage is irreversible, leaving approximately 250,000 Americans in a devastating position. However, in the past 10 years, as stem cell research has developed, new exciting possibilities have arisen for people suffering from spinal cord injury. Before understanding the consequences of a damaged spinal cord it is important to understand how the spinal cord functions. Cells called neurons are responsible for receiving and processing every piece of information the brain sends the rest of the body. Neurons are made up of four parts—the cell body which houses the nucleus and most of the cell organelles, dendrites, an axon, and axon terminals. Dendrites are bush like projections that bring information from other neurons to the cell body. The axon, a longer projection, sends information away form the cell body.
