Glossary A Short History of the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury Accounts of spinal cord injuries and their treatment date back to ancient times, even though there was little chance of recovery from such a devastating injury. The earliest is found in an Egyptian papyrus roll manuscript written in approximately 1700 B.C. that describes two spinal cord injuries involving fracture or dislocation of the neck vertebrae accompanied by paralysis. The description of each was "an ailment not to be treated."

Mount Sinai Spinal Cord Injury Model System Highlights he Mount Sinai Spinal Cord Injury Model System (MS-SCI-MS) provides comprehensive care to meet the diverse needs of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Components of this care include treatment at the scene of the accident, acute medical and surgical care, comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, and facilitation of community reintegration. The MS-SCI-MS is one of sixteen Model Systems for care of persons with SCI funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, US Department of Education (grant #H133N000027). It is the only such funded Model System in New York State . A Model System is a system of care selected by the federal government to demonstrate exemplary care, serve as a model for other service providers, and perform research, training and education, demonstration and evaluation activities that improve outcomes of care. Studies show that early transfer to a Model System of Care results in decreased lengths of stay, fewer medical complications, and reduced costs of care, immediately after onset and long-term. MS-SCI-MS collaborates with the other SCI Model Systems nationwide in improving patient care, developing and evaluating new medical, rehabilitative and other treatments, researching the course of SCI, and educating patients, family members, health care professionals, and the public at large on the consequences and management of SCI.

Newsletter Headlines May 2004 SCS HUMAN TRIALS CENTER REPORT Chapter News Letters Services SPINAL CORD SOCIETY HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS 2004 The Spinal Cord Society is sponsoring a pre-Phase I human clinical trial to produce a cure for chronic spinal cord injury paralysis. Right from day one the Society has conducted a number of other human trials such as in restoring muscle mass, and also sexual function, reducing pain, etc., and even in drug therapies for cure itself. We have also supported a highly successful Parkinson human trial. But this new trial is our first actual surgical treatment using transplants for chronic SCI . It has been made possible by the Spinal Cord Society Research Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. The first trial will be in collaboration with the Spinal Cord Society New Zealand Research Centre at the Centre for Innovation and Dunedin Hospital. The basis of the spinal implant construction and surgical procedure has already been designed and established in animals and the final humanization process is now taking place at the SCS Fort Collins Laboratory and the SCS New Zealand Laboratory. The actual surgical procedure will involve the implantation of a combination of cell types that will originate within that patient.

Living With Spinal Cord Injury A spinal cord injury (SCI) can result from trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident, violence, or a fall; or a disease or disorder, such as a tumor or virus, that affects the spinal cord's ability to send and receive messages to and from the brain. About 200,000 people in the United States have spinal cord injuries. Most injuries occur from a traumatic event, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Association, and most of these injuries occur in men. A person with SCI typically has some paralysis and decreased or loss of sensation below the level of injury. Depending on the severity of a person's spinal cord injury, an occupational therapist can provide treatment in a hospital, clinic, or at home that allows the person to become as independent as possible. With proper treatment, thousands of people with SCI have continued to lead happy and productive lives. *(PDF File - Requires Adobe Reader) What can an occupational therapist do?

Spinal Cord Injury Levels and Classification Wise Young, Ph.D., M.D. SW. M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ Last updated 24 June 2003 People with spinal cord injury are often told that they have an injury at a given spinal cord level. They are often told that the injury is "complete" or "incomplete". They sometimes be told that they have a bony fracture or other involvement of one or more spinal vertebral levels. They may also be told that they are classified according to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Classification, as a ASIA A, B, C, D, or E. What is the meaning of the different spinal cord injury levels, the definition of complete and incomplete injury, and the different classification of spinal cord injury? In the early 1990's, there was no single definition of level, completeness of injury, or classification. Doctors frequently had different definitions of spinal cord injury levels and complete and incomplete injuries. In this article, I will try to explain the currently accepted definitions of spinal cord injury levels and classification. Vertebral vs. Cord Segmental Levels
