PY - 2024 T2 - Spinal Cord Injury: Functional Rehabilitation, 4th Edition AB - Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes a host of physical and psychosocial problems that can interfere with an individual’s health, feelings of well-being, and participation in activities and relationships within the family and community. The goal of rehabilitation after spinal cord injury is to enable and empower the person to resume and then continue a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle, integrated with their family and community. Physical therapists play a central role in this process, working with recently injured people and their families to maximize physical capabilities and mobility and to develop the knowledge and skills needed to remain healthy. Three major elements are required for a therapist to fulfill this role most effectively. SN - PB - F. A.
