Abstract

This report describes the incidence of motor-vehicle related spinal-cord injuries, their neurological outcomes, and certain features of the vehicle and the crash that caused them. Spinal-cord injuries occurring from crashes when the vehicle overturned were more prevalent than expected. Spinal-cord injury crash involvement rates were highest for motorcycles, smaller vehicles and large trucks as well as for pre-1968 model year vehicles.
