Description

This symposium is designed to enhance awareness of ongoing research and clinical programming within the University of Michigan related to the health, functioning, and participation of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Moreover, it is designed to enhance relationships among professionals to improve the overall quality of both clinical care and research activities. Topics will include health management of SCI, adaptive sports and adaptive gaming, and brain-computer interface research. After attending this event, participants will be able to routinely utilize and apply this information to describe existing resources and research for individuals with SCI.
