“Around 4 million was guesstimated,” Canose said, noting the new survey suggests that number is much larger. “Nearly 6 million people are living with paralysis, substantially higher than previous estimates.”

And the position for Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injury in U.S:

- Paralysis affects 1.9 percent of the U.S. population. That reflects the number who answered yes to two questions: Do you or does anyone in this household have any difficulty moving their arms or legs?
- Spinal cord injury, one cause of paralysis studied, is more common than thought, with the new survey finding that 1.275 million people in the United States are affected. That is more than five times the number estimated in 2007, the report said.
- Certain groups of people have a higher number of individuals living with paralysis, including blacks and Native Americans.
- Low income is more common among households with someone affected by paralysis. About one-fourth of households with a person who is paralyzed make less than $10,000 a year, while only 7 percent of households in the general population overall make less than that.
- A closer look at the numbers reveals that of the 1.9 percent of Americans who have some form of paralysis, about 0.4 percent is due to a spinal cord injury.
- The average age of those who responded that they are paralyzed is 52; considering spinal cord injury alone, the average age is 48.
- Accidents at work were the number one cause of spinal cord injuries, followed by motor vehicle accidents, and sporting or recreation accidents.
- Besides spinal cord injury, other causes of paralysis reported by respondents include stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and post-polio syndrome.

“Rehabilitation services are not adequate, in many cases,” Heifitz added. Neither is access to proper equipment to help those who are paralyzed complete tasks of daily living and get to work, he said. “You are already trapped within your life,” he said. “Without the help of aid you are more trapped.” Via
