Spinal Cord Injury
Measurement of Autonomic Cardiovascular Integrity in Persons With SCI
People with a spinal cord injury (SCI) have limited ability to move and feel sensation below the level of the SCI. Doctors and researchers have tests which determine the level of function and sensation, this test was developed by…
