This results in damage to the nerves which results in a loss of feeling. This is because the brain can no longer communicate with the spinal cord.

Eric LeGrand injured his spinal cord while tackling during a football game. He was originally paralyzed from the neck down but after therapy he regained control of his shoulders.

Depending on where the injury occurs, different parts of the body are affected. The spinal cord is divided into four parts, as pictured below.

The below image shows the proper tackling technique. Tackling with the head up prevents head-on collisions that can result in injury to the brain and spinal cord.

There are many types and degrees of paralysis. The condition can be:

Partial, when you still have some control of your muscles (sometimes called paresis).
Complete, when you can’t move your muscles at all.
Permanent, when muscle control never comes back.
Temporary, when some or all muscle control returns.
Flaccid, when the muscles get flabby and shrink.
Spastic, when the muscles are tight and hard and jerk around oddly (spasm).

kling a player from behind. A head-on collision occurred because he tackled with his head parallel to his shoulders. SM

Trouble breathing occurs in the C1-C4 vertebrae. Legrand suffered fractures in his C3 and C4 vertebrae, so a ventilator was used to help him breath. Eric was resilient enough to be able to, for the most part, breath on his own 6 weeks after the injury.

Exercises include flexion and extension of shoulder, elbows hands, and knees with the aid of a machine or physical therapist. Some other exercises that Legrand did is stand (with help) for periods of time.
