Spinal cord injuries fall into two categories; they can be either partial (allowing for some sensation to the impacted region) or total (complete loss of function and sensation).

Paraplegia: Loss of movement and sensation in the lower body.
Quadriplegia: Loss of movement and sensation in both arms and legs.
