American Spinal Injury Association
The premier North American organization in the field of Spinal Cord Injury Care, Education, and Research
Just Released! The 9th Edition (2026) is now available in the ASIA store. The pocket-sized International Standards 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.
Join us for a roundtable discussion with six physicians who are also living with spinal cord injury: Drs. Hammad Aslam, Lance Goetz, Suzy Kim, Jesse Lieberman, John Lin, and Trevor Dyson-Hudson. These physicians share perspectives shaped by their dual roles as healthcare providers living with SCI. Read More/Listen » Read more about: SCI Science Perspectives – New Podcast Episode Alert! »
