The Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS)

The Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) is a network of research centers that study spinal cord injuries to improve treatment, recovery, and quality of life. They collect data on injury causes, recovery progress, and outcomes, helping healthcare providers develop better care plans. SCIMS also provides information and resources to individuals with spinal cord injuries and their families. Through this coordinated effort, the program aims to advance understanding, enhance rehabilitation strategies, and support long-term well-being for those affected by spinal cord injuries.
