Spinal cord
injuries affect young adults the most with over 60% of
all injuries occurring to those between the ages of
16-30. While elderly people have historically only
comprised a small percentage of those affected with
spinal cord injuries, this age group has seen a dramatic
increase over the last ten years primarily due to the
increase of the median age of the general population.
