Injuries Advances Made in Treatment of Spinal Cord Injuries While more than 11,000 people sustain spinal cord injuries (SCI) each year, many Americans first learned about them when actor Christopher Reeve was paralyzed. That was six years ago. In that short time span, tremendous advances have been made in improving the quality of life for individuals with SCI through better treatment and new rehabilitation therapies. "Most of the care for acute and long-term spinal cord injuries is provided by specialists in PM&R," explains David Chen, MD, a PM&R physician and director of the spinal cord injury program at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. "Often we become an injured patient's primary care physician, because we are more familiar with the unique nuances and secondary issues of the condition." This "familiarity" has led to significant advances in both technology and techniques that will maximize the capabilities of people with spinal cord injuries in all aspects of their lives - physical, emotional, social and vocational. Better Technology Among the many technological advances are improved, lighter weight wheelchairs that are easier to maneuver. "These significantly improve the quality of life from a practical, everyday standpoint of being comfortable and getting around," states Steven Kirshblum, MD, director of the spinal cord injury and ventilator program at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in New Jersey, who treats Christopher Reeve.

Frequently Asked Questions After preparing a basic, novice-level FAQ for the alt.med.cure-paralysis newsgroup, we were fortunate to have an unexpected professional or advanced-level extension written by Dr. Wise Young. This FAQ then, comes to you in 2 sections. Section 1 is the basic, and Section 2 is the advanced (meaty and interesting part). SECTION 1 SECTION 2 SECTION 1 SPINAL CORD INJURY STATISTICAL INFORMATION Although there is more information available about people who have a spinal cord injury than ever before, much of it is incomplete. Some of the statistical data is summarized below. We have very little information about disease-induced spinal cord injury, except brief descriptions of the diseases. The following information relates to traumatic spinal cord injury. It was compiled primarily by researchers at the University of Alabama using data from the regional SCI Centers funded by NIDRR. For more information on spinal cord injury statistics call 205-934-3320the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, Birmingham, Alabama. NUMBER OF NEW INJURIES PER YEAR 32 injuries per million population or 7800 injuries in the US each year Most researchers feel that these numbers represent significant under- reporting. Injuries not recorded include cases where the patient instantaneously or soon after the injury, cases with little or no remaining neurological deficit, and people who have neurologic problems secondary to trauma, but are not classified as SCI. Researchers estimate that an additional 20 cases per million (4860 per year) die before reaching the hospital.

HOME PAGE HOME SERVICE MY INJURY MY DISABILITY ... CONTACTS F or many years the Greater Manchester Police was a great part of my life. This site outlines my police service. This photo of me was taken the day before I retired from the Greater Manchester Police. Hello. My name's Graham. I was medically retired from the Greater Manchester Police with just short of 20 years service following a neck injury which occurred whilst on duty. This injury required neurosurgery and I much later discovered that it had left me with a spinal cord injury. I was re-employed by the Greater Manchester Police as a civilian Scenes of Crime Officer, a job for which I was already trained and in post prior to my retirement from the Police. I actually returned to work in the same office at the same desk but earning about £7000 per annum less. I initially built this site as I stopped work with my disability. I have endeavoured to make this page as accessible as possible for disabled people.If anybody has any access problems please let me know and I shall try to correct them. I accepted injury as an occupational hazard. I would rather I wasn't injured, but I accept that I took a risk and lost. A large number of officers are injured and it was a part of the job of which I was well aware.

Home Shrine Shriners Hospitals Hospital Directory ... Next SPINAL CORD INJURY REHABILITATION Chicago * Philadelphia * Sacramento Thousands of young people are paralyzed from spinal cord injuries each year. The Shrine of North America established three special rehabilitation units where young people with spinal cord injuries can find hope, strength, inspiration and the specialized medical care needed for rehabilitation. In 1980, after more than 60 years of treating children with orthopaedic problems and burn injuries, the Shrine realized the unmet need of specialized care and rehabilitation for children suffering from spinal cord injuries. In 1980, Shriners Hospitals opened their first Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Unit for children at the Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia A midwest Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Unit was established at the Shriners Hospital in Chicago two years later. The third spinal cord injury unit opened in September 1984 at the Shriners Hospital in San Francisco, and relocated in April 1997 to Sacramento, when that hospital closed and the Shriners Hospital in Sacramento opened.
