During  the  accident,  the  patient  had  immediate  loss  of  movement  in  her  legs  with  preserved  sensation.  She  also  reports  weakness  in  her  hands  but  has  some  movement  in  the  fingers  bilaterally.On  her  initial  evaluation,  the  patient  is  awake,  alert,  and  appropriate.  Her  neurologic  examination  shows  intact  sensation  to  light  tough  and  pinprick  throughout  her  body.  She  had  no  movement  in  her  legs  but  has  full  strength  in  her  biceps  and  deltoids.  She  has  decreased  but  present  movement  in  her  bilateral  wrist  extensors,  triceps,  and  grip.  Her  rectal  tone  is  present  as  well.  She  has  no  other  obvious  injuries  on  her  secondary  trauma  survey.The  patient  has  hypotension  with  bradycardia.  Her  respiratory  rate  and  oxygen  saturation  are  within  normal  limits,  and  she  is  able  to  communicate  without  difficulty.
