Spinal cord injury/spinal cord rehabilitation provides comprehensive rehabilitation care to reach the patient's functional goals in an acute inpatient, subacute, home, and/or outpatient rehabilitation setting. Spinal cord injury/spinal cord medical specialists are trained specifically on the evaluation and management of the unique medical and surgical conditions among those following SCI. They are trained in the care and rehabilitation of persons with SC dysfunction resulting from traumatic or non-traumatic spinal cord injuries and work in coordination both in clinical care and research with a variety of other medical and surgical specialists, for the care and optimum functional recovery for patients with SCI. These specialists work within a comprehensive rehab team including nursing staff and physician extenders, therapists, psychologists, respiratory staff, nutritionists, case managers, social workers, and vocational rehabilitation counselors for patients with SCI. There are a number of resources, clinics, and inpatient rehabilitation units in the Maryland area that provide this subspecialty care.
