Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a reasonably frequent, high-cost accident that has a significant impact on a person's life.The spinal cord injury (SCI) affects numerous bodily systems (sensory, motor, autonomic, nervous system), resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia in the clinical picture. Many additional systems, including the cardiac, integumentary,genitourinary, and gastrointestinal systems, are affected by SCI in addition to the musculoskeletal system. SCI has a psychosocial impact that is equal to its physical consequence. This paper defines ageing issues with SCI and highlights changes that occur in various body systems, provides all necessary recommendations, physiotherapy and rehabilitation interventions, and describes what needs to be done to not only live life to the fullest, but also to live a healthier life for as long as possible.
