This Ludwig Guttmann Lecture was presented at the 2012 meeting of the International Spinal Cord Society in London. It describes the contribution of Stoke Mandeville Hospital to the field of spinal cord injuries. Dr Ludwig Guttmann started the Spinal Unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in 1944 and introduced a novel, comprehensive method of care, which included early admission, prevention and treatment of spinal cord injury related complications, active rehabilitation and social reintegration. Soon a dedicated specialist team was assembled and training of visitors was encouraged, some of whom went on to start their own spinal units. Research went hand in hand with clinical work, and over the years more than 500 scientific contributions from Stoke Mandeville have been published in peer reviewed journals and books. Guttmann introduced sport as a means of physical therapy, which soon lead to organised Stoke Mandeville Games, first national in 1948, then international in 1952 and finally the Paralympic Games in 1960. Stoke Mandeville is regarded as the birthplace of the Paralympic movement, and Guttmann was knighted in 1966. Stoke Mandeville is also the birthplace of the International Medical Society of Paraplegia, later International Spinal Cord Society, which was formed during the International Stoke Mandeville Games in 1961, and of the Society's medical journal Paraplegia, later Spinal Cord, first published in 1963. Guttmann's followers have continued his philosophy and, with some new developments and advances, the present day National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary acute care, rehabilitation and life-long follow-up for patient with spinal cord injuries of all ages.
这篇路德维希·古特曼讲座于 2012 年在伦敦举行的国际脊髓学会会议上发表。它描述了斯托克·曼德维尔医院在脊髓损伤领域的贡献。路德维希·古特曼博士于 1944 年在斯托克·曼德维尔医院开设了脊髓科，并引入了一种新颖的、全面的护理方法，包括早期入院、预防和治疗与脊髓损伤相关的并发症、积极康复和社会重新融入。很快，一个专门的专家团队组建起来，并鼓励访客进行培训，其中一些人继续开办自己的脊髓科。研究与临床工作齐头并进，多年来，来自斯托克·曼德维尔的 500 多项科学贡献已在同行评议的期刊和书籍上发表。古特曼将运动作为一种物理治疗手段，很快就组织了斯托克·曼德维尔运动会，最初是 1948 年的全国性运动会，然后是 1952 年的国际性运动会，最后是 1960 年的残奥会。斯托克·曼德维尔被视为残奥会运动的发源地，古特曼于 1966 年被封为爵士。斯托克·曼德维尔也是国际截瘫医学学会（后更名为国际脊髓学会）的发源地，该学会于 1961 年在国际斯托克·曼德维尔运动会期间成立，其医学杂志《截瘫》（后更名为《脊髓》）也于 1963 年首次出版。古特曼的追随者延续了他的理念，随着一些新的发展和进步，如今的斯托克·曼德维尔医院国家脊髓损伤中心为各个年龄段的脊髓损伤患者提供全面的、多学科的急性护理、康复和终身随访。
