It can affect movement, sensation, and bodily functions below the level of the injury, leading to symptoms such as paralysis, reduced mobility, loss of feeling, and difficulties with bladder or bowel control. The impact varies depending on the severity and location of the injury, but with the right care, rehabilitation, and support, individuals can maintain independence and improve their quality of life.
