ASIA establishes and promotes standards of excellence for all aspects of health care of individuals with spinal cord injury from onset throughout life. One of our primary missions is to inform and teach our members and other healthcare professionals about spinal cord injury. The International Standards Training e-Learning Program, or InSTeP, is a five-module course designed to enable clinicians to perform accurate and consistent neurological examinations of individuals with spinal cord injury. WeeSTeP is the pediatric equivalent to InSTeP and ASTeP is the autonomic systems assessment module.
ASIA’s online courses are self-paced, multimedia modules that include assessments and course completion certificate with CME.
ASTeP: Autonomic Anatomy & Function
The goal of this training for the Autonomic Standards is to learn normal autonomic functions, understand the changes in autonomic functions following spinal cord injury (SCI) and use the Autonomic Assessment to document and classify remaining autonomic neurological function.
2019 InSTeP: International Standards— New: Revised InSTeP with certificate and CME!
An accurate clinical examination of a person with a spinal cord injury is a medical and legal diagnosis, predicts recovery, frames rehabilitation and health care, and is essential for research. To promote the teaching and competent use of the Standards, ASIA with contribution from the International Spinal Cord Society has developed the International Standards Training e-Learning Program or InSTeP.
- Due to extensive changes in the course, any individual who began InSTep training after March 1, 2019 will need to restart and fully take the course in its entirety, even if portions had been completed prior to the update. We apologize for any inconvenience.
- If you were enrolled in the training prior to March 1, 2019 you will need to go to https://asia.learnshare.com/ to create a new account and purchase training.
SkinStep: The SkinSTeP course series was developed to provide training for the understanding, treatment, and prevention of pressure injuries.
SpAsTeP: Spasticity Assessment
This course will prepare you to examine and score a patient’s spasticity using the Ashworth and Tardieu scales, based on a consensus panel convened and surveyed in 2013.
WeeSTeP: Pediatric Considerations
An accurate clinical examination of a person with a spinal cord injury is a medical and legal diagnosis, predicts recovery, frames rehabilitation and health care, and is essential for research. Purchase the InSTeP certificate course and the WeeSTeP course is included in the training for free.
