Organizationally, NSCISC is currently the hub of the network of 14 NIDILRR-sponsored Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems and 5 subcontracts at formerly funded Model Systems located at major medical centers throughout the United States. In addition to maintaining the national SCI database, NSCISC personnel conduct ongoing, database-oriented research. Many of the findings resulting from these investigative efforts have had significant impact on the delivery and nature of medical rehabilitation services provided to SCI patients. The NCSISC for the 2016–2021 cycle is operated by the UAB Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). https://www.nscisc.uab.edu/ 2 Contents Overview of Spinal Cord Injury Products Offered Through the MSKTC ..................................................................................4 Listing of Spinal Cord Injury Products Offered Through the MSKTC .......................................................................................5 Opportunities To Participate in MSKTC Research ...................................................................................................................6 Collection of Spinal Cord Injury Factsheets Offered by the MSKTC, Volume I........................................................................7 Depression and Spinal Cord Injury...............................................................................................................................9 Employment After Spinal Cord Injury ........................................................................................................................12 Pain After Spinal Cord Injury ......................................................................................................................................16 Supplement: Activity Modification for Musculoskeletal Pain ....................................................................................20 Safe Transfer Technique .............................................................................................................................................22 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 1: Causes and Risks ...................................................................24 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 2: Preventing Pressure Sores ....................................................26 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 2: Preventing Pressure Sores Supplement: Areas at high risk of developing pressure sores ...................................................................................30 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 2: Preventing Pressure Sores Supplement: Building Skin Tolerance for Pressure ....................................................................................................31 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 2: Preventing Pressure Sores Supplement: How to do pressure reliefs (weight shifts) ............................................................................................32 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 3: Recognizing and Treating Pressure Sores ..............................35 Skin Care and Pressure Sores (6 Part Series)—Part 3: Recognizing and Treating Pressure Sores Supplement: stages of pressure sores: Illustrations ..................................................................................................37 Spasticity and Spinal Cord Injury ...............................................................................................................................39 Spinal Cord Injury and Gait Training ..........................................................................................................................42 The Wheelchair Series: What the Spinal Cord Injury Consumer Needs to Know (3 Part Series) Getting the Right Wheelchair: What the Spinal Cord Injury Consumer Needs to Know ...........................................46 The Manual Wheelchair: What the Spinal Cord Injury Consumer Needs to Know ...................................................49 The Power Wheelchair: What the Spinal Cord Injury Consumer Needs to Know ......................................................52 Collection of Spinal Cord Injury Factsheets Offered by the MSKTC, Volume 2.....................................................................55 Adaptive Sports and Recreation ................................................................................................................................56 Adjusting to Life After Spinal Cord Injury ..................................................................................................................62 Aging and SCI.............................................................................................................................................................66 Autonomic Dysreflexia ..............................................................................................................................................71
