Spinal Cord Injury and Forearm Crutches and Transfers
Nerves leaving the spinal cord at different levels control sensation and movement in different parts of the body. The distribution is roughly as follows:
- C1-8. These nerves enter from the eight cervical or neck vertebrae
- T1-12. These nerves enter from the thoracic or chest vertebrae
- L1-5. These nerves enter from the lumbar vertebrae of the lower back
- S1-5. These nerves enter through the sacral or pelvic vertebrae
- Coccygeal. These nerves enter through the coccyx or tailbone.
A patient with an injury at C7-8 will be able to be independent with some transfers and feeding and will able to drive with hand controls. An injury at T12 may result in the ability for short-term ambulation with long leg orthoses and crutches.
