Expected Outcomes: What You Should Know

This series of eight guides describes outcomes according to level of spinal cord injury (C1-3, C4, C5, C6, C7-8, T1-9, T10-L1, and L2-S5). Each guide provides individual guidance on what people with different levels of SCI can reasonably expect to do one year after injury; what help will be needed with daily life tasks at home, at work, and in the community; and what equipment can help make a person with SCI more independent. This information can help people with SCI and those who care for them to understand the present and plan for the future. Published by Paralyzed Veterans of America [Paralyzed Veterans] on behalf of the Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine.
