Nearly 18,000 individuals in the U.S. sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) each year. Additionally, while non-traumatic SCI can be difficult to track, it is estimated to be roughly the same amount as traumatic injuries per year. The care of persons with SCI requires an interdisciplinary approach across the continuum of care from initial injury, medical complications, many phases of rehab, and community reintegration.

On May 15th, Drew Redepenning (Biomedical Engineer, Assistive Technology and Gaming Practitioner, ST4P team member, and Resident Physician at UPMC) presented a fantastic webinar entitled “Current Trends and Innovations in Adaptive Gaming” for the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA). RESNA is the premier professional membership organization dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of people with disabilities through increasing access to technology solutions.
