Informative Speech: Spinal Cord Injuries

Purpose: Informing my audience about the situation of spinal cord injured patients in the US About 250,000 people in the United States are undergoing spinal cord injuries. In addition, there are 7,600 to 10,000 new injuries every year. Half of these new injuries occur among young people between the ages of 16 and 30.

Understanding spinal cord injury Spinal cord injury can be very destructive. First, I will explain the structure and function of the spinal cord. Next, I will explain how the spinal cord is most frequently injured, and the statistics and signs of spinal cord injury. I will explain the body change after spinal cord injury. Finally, I will describe some research to help victims of spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is classified as a spinal cord injury and results in temporary or permanent changes in normal spinal movement, sensory function or autonomic function, spinal cord injury, damage to the nerve at the end of the spinal canal. Permanent change in sensation and other physical functions. There is no need to cut the spinal cord to lose function. Symptoms vary greatly from pain to paralysis, incontinence, where spinal cord and nerve roots are damaged.

Spinal cord injury is caused by spinal cord injury and causes complete or incomplete paralysis. Complete spinal cord injury means that the spinal cord is completely severed and people can no longer walk. Incomplete spinal cord injury means that the spinal cord is still intact, but it does not cross the spinal cord due to trauma from foreign bodies and bones. The degree of spinal cord injury is incomplete. I saw an example of a sliding disk in this figure. In most cases sliding plates can cause severe pain, even sometimes even pain, and can be treated with analgesics, rest or surgery. It is definitely not a mild disease, but as the spinal cord remains intact, the severity of the intervertebral disc slippage is not so high and there is no nerve injury. However, more serious consequences occur when the spinal cord is damaged or damaged.
