9th Annual Current Concepts in SCI Rehabilitation Conference

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.

This year, ST4P team members Stephanie Vasquez, Randall Huzenic, Cas Speanburg, and Mitch Bell presented “The New Era of Technology” reviewing the role of assistive technology in enhancing social participation, education, employment, and quality of life as well as the latest innovations in adaptive gaming, smart home access, and mobile accessibility.
