Guidelines for Use of Durable Medical Equipment For Persons with Spinal Cord Injury & Dysfunction
This comprehensive guide, the result of the work of the ASIA Rehabilitation Standards Committee, provides information about DME as it relates to the general and specialized needs of persons with SCI/D. The guide, 152 pages in a soft cover book, describes the available DME that may meet the complex needs of individuals with SCI/D throughout the continuum of life. The recommendations on types of equipment are not intended to be prescriptive, but rather to serve as a guideline. Special consideration has been given throughout to what is considered medically necessary/beneficial. Photos are included in all DME categories.
** ASIA members can download the DME guide for free from the Members Only section of this website.
International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI Revised 2011
This pocket-sized booklet defines for SCI a standard method of assessing the neurological status of the patient, as well as a standard approach to using such data for classifying/quantifying the injury. The goal is that both the measurement technique and the use of the resulting data, clinically and in research, should be consistent across practitioners and researchers.
Abstracts in the Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine 2009, 2010, Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation 2011
These journals contain the abstracts of all presentations, both oral and poster, made at the ASIA annual scientific meeting in that year.
