Showcasing Recent and Impactful work in the field of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Science.
ASIA SCI Science Perspectives: A dialogue from two perspectives on emerging scientific literature spanning the full spectrum of Spinal Cord Injury Research, from discovery to clinical application. The SCI Science Perspectives podcast disseminates the latest-and-greatest scientific work in the field of spinal cord injury (SCI) via a conversation with researchers that approaches their work from two perspectives: the “scholarly” perspective and the “community” perspective.

Bringing People Living with SCI into the Medical Classroom
Join us for the episode for a conversation with Drs. Ona Bloom and Adam Stein on the topic of including people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in the medical education (MD) curriculum. In this conversation we discuss the paper titled “Experiences and recommendations from people with spinal cord injury following participation in a disability education session at an allopathic medical school: a qualitative study” published in the journal Spinal Cord Series and Cases. We hope you enjoy this exploration of the important topic of lived-experience consultation in medical education, with Drs. Ona Bloom and Adam Stein.

The 2024 Annual Meeting
Join us for conversations from the 2024 American Spinal Injury Association Annual Scientific meeting in Puerto Rico. Along with a presidential handoff from Suzanne Groah, MD, to Susan Charlifue, PhD—the first time in ASIA’s history that an acting female president has handed the torch to an incoming female president— we also chat with award winners in both poster and oral format presentations. We hope you enjoy this episode as we remember the 2024 annual meeting and usher in a new president.

Staying Up To Date on the Neurological Exam with Dr. Rudiger Rupp
The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) institutionalized, and now stewards, the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam, the most ubiquitous neurological exam performed for spinal cord injury (SCI). Join us in this episode with Dr. Rudiger Rupp for a deep dive on the most recent update to the ISNCSCI, headed by ASIA’s International Standards Committee chaired by Dr. Rupp. We hope you enjoy this zoom into the zone of partial preservation (ZPP) and non-SCI taxonomy, with Dr. Rudiger Rupp.

Motherhood after SCI with Dr. Allison Kessler
Join us in this episode for a conversation with Allison Kessler, MD, MSc on the topic of motherhood after spinal cord injury (SCI). In this conversation, Dr. Kessler discusses two recent publications that apply to the topic of motherhood after SCI: the peer-reviewed Motherhood after Spinal Cord Injury: Breastfeeding, Autonomic Dysreflexia, and Psychosocial Health: Clinical Practice Guidelines, and the corresponding “Consumer Guideline Breastfeeding Following SCI: A Consumer Guide for Mothers.” We hope you enjoy this exploration of the important topic of mothering after SCI, with Dr. Allison Kessler.

The Time Is Now for Nontraumatic SCI
Join us in this episode for a panel conversation on expert consensus, best practices, and future directions for classifying and tracking outcomes for people living with nontraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) with Alexandra Bennewith, MPA; Keara McNair, OTR/L, BCPR, ATP; Kristen Walden, BS; Ron Reeves, MD; and Stephen Burns, MD. Disorders of the spinal cord come in many forms, and when categorizing based on cause there has historically been an emphasis placed on traumatic—e.g., from an impact—SCI. As put forth by this panel of nontraumatic experts selected by ASIA’s Education Committee, the time has come to integrate nontraumatic SCI into the existing networks of standardized reporting. We hope you enjoy these episodes as we usher in an era in the union of SCI across etiology.

Spasticity and Early Motor Recovery after SCI with Dr. Sina Sangari
Join us this episode for a conversation with Dr. Sina Sangari of the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for a conversation about the paper titled “Spasticity Predicts Motor Recovery for Patients with Subacute Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury” published in the journal Annals of Neurology. Regardless of the functional implications of spasms, Dr. Sangari and his colleagues explain the prognostic value that spasticity, early after an acquired spinal cord injury, can have in predicting recovery of volitional motor function.

Clinical Autonomics and Sleep with Dr. Gino Panza
Join us for a conversation about the interaction of autonomic dysfunction, the brain, and sleep. Dr. Panza talks us through a recent review paper that shines a clinical lens on the interaction of three topics that are complicated by themselves and that complexify after spinal cord injury (SCI).
