ASIA 2020 – New “Translational Research to Inform Practice Track”
For the first time, ASIA will offer a track dedicated to “Translational Research to Inform Practice” (TRIP). Workshops and sessions in the track include clinicians and researchers across the translational spectrum, speaking side by side about important clinical problems. This track is sponsored by the Research Committee of ASIA, as part of an ASIA initiative to increase the dialogue between clinicians and translational researchers.
Sessions in the TRIP track include:
“Breathing after Spinal Cord Injury: Plasticity and Therapeutic Advances”
“The continuum between swallow and dysphagia is not simple following neural injury”
“Barriers to Functional Recovery from SCI: Pain and its Management”
“Novel findings in the development and prevention of neuropathic pain and the impact on neurological recovery: Findings from bench to bedside to bench”
“The Spectrum of Translational Research in Spinal Cord Injury: examples, obstacles, and victories”
“Predictive value of animal research experiments for emerging clinical studies in spinal cord injury”
“Recommendations for Evaluation of Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction after Spinal Cord Injury and/or Disease”
General Session – Cardiovascular with clinical and pre-clinical presentations
