Summary Introduction
To write:
The plexus of spinal nerves that are involved in the crutch paralysis. The way by which a person can avoid this type of injury.
Introduction:
The spinal cord can be defined as the cylindrical bundle of the nerve fibers and connected tissue. It is surrounded in the spinal region and joins approximately all the body parts to the brain. It forms the central nervous system with the brain.
