Welcome to the Spinal Cord Injury manual -- SCI for short. This manual is designed to provide you with the rehabilitation treatment you need to help you reach your highest level of function. Your SCI Rehab Team will be working with you and your family to help you become independent, prevent complications, and understand the effects of your injury. Prior to your admission, you had a thorough pre-admission evaluation and screening to make sure you are an appropriate candidate for rehab and to help your SCI Rehab Team determine the best possible individualized plan of care for you.

   You are the most important member of the SCI Rehab Team. If you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to talk with the other members of your team. They exist for one reason- to help you succeed and reach your optimum level of wellness and independence.
