Spinal cord lesions due to water sports and occupations: our experience in 20 years

The authors reviewed 162 clinical cases selected from several cases and referring to paraplegic patients, who have been treated in a polyvalent rehabilitation centre during approximately 20 years. The cases studied focused on those of vertebromedullar traumatisms due to water sports, work and road accidents, since in the authors' opinion the inclusion of the latter is of particular interest to the global comparative analysis.
