Abstract

Each year, a substantial number of individuals worldwide, ranging from 250,000 to 500,000, experience spinal cord injury (SCI). In India, the prevalence of SCI is also higher. The age group most susceptible to SCI falls within the 16-30-year range, with males being at a higher risk, particularly due to sports-related injuries. SCI remains a thorn side of the neurological disorder that often leads to severe morbidity and lifelong disability. The injury occurs as a result of trauma, causing damage to the spinal cord or its nerve root axons, consequently resulting in the loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic functions. This condition poses immense physical and psychological stress for patients and their caregivers, along with significant economic burdens.
