Over the past 9 years, the fertility potential for men with spinal cord injury and other neurological impairments has improved. Approximately 80% of men with spinal cord injury have semen (collected either by vibration or by electroejaculation using rectal probe) of sufficient quality to use in intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization. Assuming that other factors are equal, it would seem that length or level of injury are not dominating factors that control the quality of semen from these men.
在过去9年里，脊髓损伤及其他神经功能障碍男性的生育潜能有所改善。约80%的脊髓损伤男性拥有质量足以用于宫内授精或体外受精的精液（通过振动或使用直肠探头电射精采集）。假设其他因素相同，损伤的长度或节段似乎并非控制这些男性精液质量的主导因素。
