- Quadriplegia/ Tetraplegia- an injury to the spinal cord just above the first thoracic vertebra. The results of this injury is paralysis of all four limbs. The victim will suffer a loss of movement to both arms and both legs and often the chest and abdominal muscles as well.
- Cauda Equina Syndrome- There is a mass of nerves that fan out of the spinal cord, known as the Caude Equina.
