Community EP032 - The Time is Now for Nontraumatic SCI

Join us in this episode for a panel conversation on nontraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) with Alexandra Bennewith, MPA, Keara McNair, OTR/L, BCPR, ATP, Kristen Walden, BS, Ron Reeves, MD, and Stephen Burns, MD. Paralysis due to problem in the spinal cord come can come from many causes, and historically an emphasis has been placed on traumatic—like from an impact—SCI. As put forth by this panel of nontraumatic experts selected by ASIA's Education Committee, the time has come to integrate nontraumatic SCI into the existing networks of standardized reporting. The panelists discuss expert consensus, best practices, and future directions for classifying and tracking outcomes as to deliver better care for people living nontraumatic SCI. We hope you enjoy this episode as we usher in an era in the union of SCI regardless of cause.
