The process of active rehabilitation for SCI patients

The growth in motor vehicle traffic and the lack of due caution when jumping into shallow water are the primary reasons for trauma to the spine and spinal cord. These injuries prove to have a profound impact on both patients and families. Once the patient has been brought out of post-traumatic and post-operative shock there follows a lengthy process of rehabilitation and adaptation to the hardships of daily life. The authors present various ways of adapting to altered circumstances and techniques for obstacle course exercises.
