Abstract
Until the middle of the 20th century, individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) only survived a few weeks after injury in industrial countries (Kennedy, 2001). As medical and rehabilitation knowledge increased, the survival rate improved and life-spans increased after SCI. Nowadays, if proper medical care is accessible (as is usually common in high income, developed countries), an individual with SCI typically can survive the acute phases of the SCI and later become a participating and productive member of society. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
