<unk>  <unk>  is the most common form of cervical spinal<unk>  injury. It is characterized by loss of motion and sensation in arms and hands. It usually results from trauma which causes damage to the neck, leading to major injury to the<unk>  corticospinal tract of the spinal<unk> . The syndrome is more common in people over the age of 50 because osteoarthritis in the neck region causes weakening of the vertebrae.<unk>  most frequently occurs among older persons with cervical spondylosis, however, it also may occur in younger individuals.<unk>  is the most common incomplete spinal<unk>  injury syndrome. It accounts for approximately 9% of traumatic SCIs. After an incomplete injury, the brain still has the capacity to send and receive some signals below the site of injury. Sending and receiving of signals to and from parts of the body is reduced, not entirely blocked.<unk>  gives a greater motor loss in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs, with variable sensory loss. It was first described by Schneider in 1954. It is generally associated with favorable prognosis for some degree of neurological and functional recovery. However, factors such as age, preexisting conditions, and extent of injury will affect the recovery process.
