The spinal cord coordinates the body's movement and sensation. Therefore, an injured cord loses the ability to send and receive messages from the brain to the body's systems that control sensory, motor, and autonomic function below the level of injury. Often, this results in some level of paralysis.
Damage to the spinal cord can affect your movement, feeling, and sensations as well as bodily function, such as control of your bowel and bladder. The spinal cord is made of bundles of nerve fibers, like a telephone wire, which connect the brain to muscles, skin and the organs inside the body.
