Technology plays a critical role in promoting well-being, activity, and participation for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). As technology has improved, so has the realm of possibilities open to people with SCI. School, work, travel, and leisure activities are all facilitated by technology. Advances in materials have made wheelchairs lighter, and developments in design have made wheelchairs that fit individual needs. Software has made computer interfaces adaptive and in some case intelligent, through learning the user's behavior and optimizing its structure. As participatory action design and aware systems take greater hold, transformational change is likely to take place in the technology available to people with SCI.
技术在促进脊髓损伤（SCI）患者的健康、活动和参与方面发挥着关键作用。随着技术的进步，SCI患者可获得的可能性领域也得到了拓展。学校、工作、旅行和休闲活动都因技术而变得更加便利。材料的进步使轮椅更轻便，设计的发展使轮椅能够满足个人需求。软件通过学习用户行为并优化其结构，使计算机界面具有适应性，在某些情况下还具有智能性。随着参与式行动设计和感知系统的广泛应用，SCI患者可用的技术可能会发生变革性变化。
