1. The document discusses spinal cord anatomy and injury levels, and their impact on expected functional outcomes. Higher injury levels often result in greater impairment and care needs, while lower levels allow for more independence. 2. Functional outcomes depend on multiple factors like age, health, psychosocial support, and rehabilitation. With treatment and adaptive equipment, individuals can gain independence in activities of daily living and mobility. 3. The lowest spinal cord injury levels, in the lumbar and sacral regions, typically allow for walking with braces and normal bowel and bladder function. This provides the greatest level of independence and quality of life.
