Question: 1 / 1070

Individuals at the SCI level of C6 may have which of the following capabilities?

Independently drive without adaptations

Perform gross motor movements of upper extremities

At the C6 spinal cord injury level, individuals typically retain some movement and function in their upper extremities, particularly effective gross motor movement. This level allows them to have control over shoulder movements and elbow flexion, which enables them to perform certain actions such as reaching and grasping, although they may still have limitations in fine motor skills.

While individuals with a C6 injury may experience varying degrees of function based on their specific situation, they can generally engage in activities that require larger motions, such as pushing and pulling objects. However, they would not be able to drive independently without adaptations, walk unaided, or complete all self-care tasks without assistance due to their physical limitations.
