Spinal Cord Injuries and Rehabilitation
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) occur when damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body through the spinal cord. This can cause paralysis, loss of sensation, and other complications. Rehabilitation is crucial after an SCI to help individuals: regain function, manage complications, adapt and reintegrate and rehabilitation is a lifelong process that can significantly improve quality of life for people with SCIs.
