Indigenous Canadians experience greater challenges living with spinal cord injury (SCI) than the rest of the population. Since our unique Praxis model revolves around partnership, we’re working with Indigenous researchers and communities in order to prioritise and accelerate research and innovation that is relevant. Praxis initiatives include contributing to Indigenous academic research positions, gathering clinical data on SCI from Indigenous patients, and establishing connections with communities to bridge gaps in connection and engagement.

Everyone is welcome to review and comment on the draft CAN/HSO S3402:2022 (E) Integrated People-Centred Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Program standard before it is published.

This article seeks to define a taxonomy for standardized documentation of non-SCI-related conditions in the International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI).
