Act of Violence (Stabbing) : Loss of Brain-Muscle Connection and Communication

The document describes the physiological effects of a complete spinal cord injury caused by stabbing or other act of violence. It results in paralysis below the site of injury due to the loss of connection between the brain and muscles below the injury. This severs sensory and motor functions and causes wasting of the muscles from disuse along with disturbances to body image and self-esteem due to the loss of mobility.
