Question: Nancy K. was ice skating and had a really bad fall. She landed awkwardly on her back and an X-ray shows she shattered a vertebra near the bottom of the thoracic region (the T-11 vertebra; mid-lower back). Unfortunately, the break crushed her spinal cord in the region, and now her brain is no longer able to send or receive signals through spinal nerves below the fracture.
Which body parts are LEAST likely to be paralyzed by this horrific accident?
