I've been trying to find out what would happen to a person with complete spinal injury @ the level of T5. Is there a chart or something I could look at that would explain what would occur at each level of the spinal cord? I keep googling stuff and it keeps telling me this this and this could occur but I'm not understanding why.

Could I ask you a question. If T5 is completely injured, does that mean that all the levels below do not work as well?
