injuries‚ as well as how they relate to the case study. Given A.D.’s status‚ spinal shock can be suspected. Spinal shock is defined as “a sudden and complete transection of the spinal cord that results in complete loss of motor‚ sensory‚ reflex‚ and autonomic function below the level of injury‚” and is often the immediate response to an acute spinal cord injury (Hung‚ 2009). After A.D. was ejected from his vehicle‚ he suffered a C5-C6 cervical subluxation (or misalignment)‚ causing spinal cord damage
