It has been claimed that the risk of DVT and pulmonary emboli falls off sharply by about 21
days after the injury, and though there are sporadic reports of these complications occurring
months later, in the subacute phase (3), there is little information on the final phase of
physiologically stable neurological damage. This study therefore concentrated on the
changes in haemostasis during this protracted phase of paralysis, to see whether there are
any persistent disturbances of haemostasis in the chronic stage of paralysis.
