When I was injured in 2002, I was overwhelmed by everything. Not only was there confusion with everything that was happening with my injury, there were issues with dealing with my insurance company, and the complete reassessment of home life. How do you deal with all of that? I was fortunate enough to get a referral to a gym that was specifically designed for people with spinal cord injury. The attendees of the gym became a community, It is a place were ideas are shared and invaluable information is passed throughout the community. This site was created to expand our community and make it accessible to anyone who has been injured, and the friends and family members who are also affected. So, we welcome all of our members to ask questions, start conversations, and share your experiences with one another.

Triathalons
I am new to the site and love it. Thank you all for sharing so much. I do racing in my handcycle and pushrim. I am looking into doing some triathalons with my ultimate goal being an iron man. Let me know if you have done a triathalon. How where the transitions between events and what can I expect. I am hoping to do a short one in the spring just to get an idea for what I am getting into.
Thanks,
John

As an advocate for the disable and lover of media, I find many different people who are aspiring and have dreams. Someone told me I was a well known advocate but I don't think so. Since rallying for Stem Cell and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paraalysis Act, I made many friends. Friends that dreamed of being involved in something media related. We know how hard it is getting in to Hollywood and even for able body people it's not easy. Since the

SCI Research
I'm really excited to be getting my dissertation up and running. As it states in my profile I'm a clinical psychology graduate student and as part of my program I need to complete an original research project. I though what better way to complete that than to advance the research literature on those who sustain and live with a spinal cord injury.
It is a questionnaire based project and I hope to get a ton of people with a spinal cord injury to take part in it. I was really happy to have… Continue

Scientists discover cause of destructive inflammations
The signaling molecule CD95L, known as “death messenger,” causes an inflammatory process in injured tissue after spinal cord injuries and prevents its healing. This discovery was published by scientists of the German Cancer Research Center. In mice, the researchers found out that if they switch off CD95L, the injured spinal cord heals and the animals [...]

Cognitive appraisals, coping and quality of life outcomes: a multi-centre study of spinal cord injury rehabilitation
Authors: P Kennedy, P Lude, M L Elfström & E Smithson (Source: Spinal Cord)41. The vestibulospinal pathways
The goal of this study was to investigate the usefulness of the vestibular stimulation in rehabilitation of patients after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The activation of vestibulospinal pathways can be achieved by galvanic stimulation applied to the mastoid. It causes hypotonia of the extensor muscles on the anodal side. In 9 chronic SCI patients (aged 21–41), a repeated galvanic stimulation was applied on the left, and after that, on the right mastoid. Two of the patients were grade A according to American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (AIS), 5 grade B, and two grade C. The intensity of the stimulation was 3–5mA, the duration 1s. Each stimulus was repeated 10 times. The spasticity of lower limbs was tested previous and after galvanic stimulation. Two experienced physi...Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Injuries: Medicine's Next Big Thing?
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Nearly 300,000 people in the U.S. are living with a spinal cord injury. (Source: Medical Headlines From Ivanhoe.com)The Changing Landscape of Biotech Valuations (ACOR, CBST, MNKD, INCY, SGEN, ITMN, IPXL, MRX, SVNT, VPHM)
The biotech and biohealth universe is changing in size. In 2008 and 2009, partly due to mergers and partly due to market valuations, there had become a surprisingly small number of biotech stocks which had market capitalization rates of more than $1 billion. At one point there were only about 10 or 11 in our universe of biotech stocks that actually had market caps which were very far north of $1 billion, or at least out of the biotech stocks which followed at BioHealth Investor. We have recently seen Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACOR), Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CBST), MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ: MNKD), Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ: INCY), Seattle Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGEN), InterMune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN), Impax Laboratories Inc.
