• H S Chhabra*
• Alex Vaccaro
• S Katoh
• Marcel Dvorak
• Hans Joseph Erli
• Francois Theron
*Chairperson
Learning Objectives:
1. Defining comprehensive management of persons with spinal cord injury and its importance
2. Identifying deficiencies both amongstemerging and developed countries in providing comprehensive management of persons with spinal cord injury
3. Overcoming deficiencies in providing comprehensive management of persons with spinal cord injury using indigenous methods
Participants: Any level is suitable.
Target audience: Physiatrists,Spine surgeons, All rehabilitation disciplines (includingPhysiotherapists, Occupational therapists, Psychologists, Assistive technologists),Nurses,Researchers, Consumers, Policy makers, Hospital Administrators
Abstract:
Humanitywill ever be indebted to the guide and inspiration of great professionals like Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had to overcome so many seemingly overwhelming issues to accomplish the noteworthy and nowadays indeed anticipated results in the management of persons with spinal cord injury. In the past few years/decades great advances have been made in the medical and nursing management, rehabilitation and resettlement of patients with serious spinal neural disease and injury. Special spinal units have played an important part in these advances.
The term 'Spinal Service' may be preferred to 'Spinal Unit', and when organizing such centres it must be appreciated that we are not only taking into account the present situation but also planning for the future.Interchange of knowledge in the management of patients with serious spinal disease between all those who may be concerned with such patients is essential.
The workshop is designed to understand the comprehensive management of person with spinal cord injury, and identify the lacunae/deficiencies in providing such services in less-developed countries (LDCs), or emerging (developing) countries. Deliberations would help overcoming these deficiencies using the example of services in developed countries.
