SCI Science Perspectives

The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) brings you SCI Science Perspectives. The podcast is built around two-part dialogues with spinal cord injury (SCI) professionals regarding their emerging scientific work spanning the full spectrum of SCI research, from discovery to clinical application. The SCI Science Perspectives podcast disseminates the latest-and-greatest scientific work in the SCI field via a conversation with researchers that approaches their work from two perspectives: the “scholarly” perspective and the “community” perspective. The process begins with ASIA’s Committees informing the podcast about new and influential scientific papers relevant to the committee’s interests. Then the podcast host(s) then interview the author(s) of the papers, approaching their project from each perspective. Finally, the conversation from each perspective is published as its own episode type: "Scholarly" and "Community" episodes. Keep an eye out too for "Admin" episodes too, communicating administrative information relevant to ASIA members and stakeholders.

    Community EP036 - Staying Up To Date on the Neurological Exam with Dr. Rudiger Rupp

    The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) founded and now develops the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam, more commonly known as the "ASIA exam." This exam, which assigns a level and "completeness" of SCI, is the most common neurological exam performed in those with SCI. The most recent updates included the addition of zone of partial preservation (ZPP) and a "non-SCI taxonomy" (listen in to learn what that means 😁). We hope you enjoy this this deep dive on the most recent update to the ISNCSCI, with Dr. Rudiger Rupp.

    Community EP032 - The Time is Now for Nontraumatic SCI

    Join us in this episode for a panel conversation on 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. Paralysis due to problem in the spinal cord come can come from many causes, and historically an emphasis has been placed on traumatic—like 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. The panelists discuss expert consensus, best practices, and future directions for classifying and tracking outcomes as to deliver better care for people living nontraumatic SCI. We hope you enjoy this episode as we usher in an era in the union of SCI regardless of cause.
