“Complete” and “incomplete” are the two forms of spinal cord injury. With a complete injury, damage to nerves completely interrupts signals sent from the brain to areas of the body beneath the injury. With an incomplete injury, viable neural tissue remains intact, so that only some of the brain’s signals are blocked.
