Future spinal cord injury (SCI) research will focus on improving quality of life. Key areas include demographics, functional training, psychosocial support, assistive technology, and secondary conditions to advance SCI care.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • The SCI Model Systems (SCIMS) programs have been instrumental in advancing spinal cord injury (SCI) research.
  • Understanding current research findings and identifying future opportunities is crucial for improving the lives of individuals with SCI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline current and future research directions in spinal cord injury (SCI).
  • To identify key areas for future research based on existing findings and expert discussions.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-conference workshop at the 2016 American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) annual meeting was held.
  • Discussions involved over 100 participants, including researchers and clinicians, focusing on five thematic areas: Demographics and Measurement, Functional Training, Psychosocial Considerations, Assistive Technology, and Secondary Conditions.

Main Results:

  • Presentations of current SCI research abstracts were followed by group discussions.
  • A steering committee synthesized discussion points to recommend future research directions across the five thematic areas.

Conclusions:

  • Despite progress, significant research gaps remain in spinal cord injury (SCI) care.
  • Future research efforts should prioritize enhancing the quality of life for individuals with SCI through targeted investigations.
