Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) does NOT belong under spinal disorders. While some people who have spinal cord injury (which involves paralysis, loss of sensation, bowel and bladder and sexual dysfunction from spinal cord damage) also have had (as part of their original injury) a spinal (bone, vetebrae) fracture or dislocation, many have not. Spinal cord injury and disease is not an orthopedic problem as are spinal disorders. Spinal cord injury is a neurologic condition, and includes mechanisms other than just trauma such as spinal cord abscess, spinal cord stroke, probable viral infections such as transverse myelitis, polio and some forms of MS as well as conditions such as synringmyelia and herditary spastic paraplegia (HSP).

To stick it under spinal disorders is sort of like putting Volkswagens as a subcatgory under Chevrolets. You might as well just delete it entirely and not claim to serve that population, since no one will every find it there.

Thanks and goodbye. I will go back to the original Braintalk which understands the difference.
