    A patient has a spinal cord injury at the C5 level of the cervical spinal cord. This results in weakness in the upper and lower extremities including hand function. There are also upper motor neuron signs like spasticity and sensory problems. Without proper mobilization and management, the patient risks developing contractures, muscle disuse, cardiopulmonary problems, bowel and bladder issues, and infections as well as psychological and vocational difficulties. Treatment includes range of motion and strengthening exercises, bowel and bladder management, wheelchair modifications, splinting, adaptive devices, trained caregivers, and evaluations by psychology, social work, and driving/mobility programs.
