Paraplegia

Paraplegia is caused by direct manipulation (such as firearms, stab wounds, etc.) and indirect manipulation (vertebral fractures, dislocations, etc.) of the spinal cord. Spinal operation can affect gradual muscle atrophy, loss of related sensations and consciousness, impairment of certain organ functions (such as loss of control of the bladder, etc.) or loss of certain activities, etc., and are seriously life-threatening. Therefore, traumatic paraplegia should be actively rescued and treated reasonably early, strengthen nursing work, and strive for spinal fractures and dislocations to achieve reduction and early maximum recovery of spinal cord function. For those who have not recovered spinal cord function, they should actively strengthen functional training and carry out rehabilitation activities to promote the recovery of paralyzed muscles, prevent adhesions of joints, ligaments and nearby tendons, and maintain normal activities of limbs and joints. Sports is a good means of rehabilitation. It has a positive effect on promoting blood circulation and normal metabolism of the whole body and limbs, and restoring the functions of the body and limbs. For paraplegics, sports have a more important role.
