Course Content:
This course will build on the successful pre-course offered as part of the 2016 ASIA Annual Meeting. As was done in 2016, content for the course will be derived from a series of manuscripts currently in preparation for a special issue of Archives in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. These manuscripts address a wide range of topics including neurological recovery, interventions to improve health and function, technology use, and psychosocial and community factors that influence outcomes. Data for the projects discussed are derived from the National Spinal Cord Injury Database, collaborative module projects conducted by SCIMS centers, and site-specific research projects. Course attendees will learn about the findings of these projects and their implications for health care, research, and policy. Presenters and course moderators will be SCIMS-affiliated clinicians and researchers.

Course Objectives:
To share the most recent findings from Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) research pertaining to medical, functional, technological, and psychosocial factors that influence health, function, and quality of life after SCI.
