Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The spinal cord is the central nervous system’s conduit from the brain to the rest of the body and translates sensory and motor information to and from the brain as well as autonomic and peripheral nervous systems. Spinal cord injury (SCI) can have devastating effects on sensory and motor neurological function as well as autonomic processes on cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, hematological, endocrine, and integumentary systems, creating profound psychosocial and spiritual dilemmas. This Special Issue will address the pathophysiology and treatment of secondary conditions associated with SCI.
