CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE: To describe current and future directions in spinal cord injury (SCI) research.
The SCI Model Systems (SCIMS) programs funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) during the 2011 to 2016 cycle provided abstracts describing findings from current research projects. Discussion among session participants generated ideas for research opportunities.
SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: Pre-conference workshop before the 2016 American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) annual meeting. A steering committee selected by the SCIMS directors that included the moderators of the sessions at the ASIA pre-conference workshop, researchers presenting abstracts during the session, and the audience of over 100 attending participants in the pre-conference workshop.
METHODS/RESULTS: Group discussion followed presentations in 5 thematic areas of (1) Demographics and Measurement; (2) Functional Training; (3) Psychosocial Considerations; (4) Assistive Technology; and (5) Secondary Conditions. The steering committee reviewed and summarized discussion points on future directions for research and made recommendations for research based on the discussion in each of the five areas.
Significant areas in need of research in SCI remain, the goal of which is continued improvement in the quality of life of individuals with SCI.
背景/目的：描述脊髓损伤（SCI）研究的现状及未来方向。
2011年至2016年期间由美国国家残疾、独立生活和康复研究所（NIDILRR）资助的脊髓损伤模型系统（SCIMS）项目提供了描述当前研究项目结果的摘要。会议参与者之间的讨论产生了研究机会的想法。
地点/参与者：2016年美国脊髓损伤协会（ASIA）年会前的会前研讨会。由SCIMS主任选出的指导委员会，包括ASIA会前研讨会各场次的主持人、在会上展示摘要的研究人员以及会前研讨会100多名参会观众。
方法/结果：在以下5个主题领域的报告之后进行了小组讨论：（1）人口统计学与测量；（2）功能训练；（3）社会心理因素；（4）辅助技术；（5）继发病症。指导委员会审查并总结了关于未来研究方向的讨论要点，并根据五个领域各自的讨论提出了研究建议。
脊髓损伤研究中仍存在大量需要研究的重要领域，其目标是持续改善脊髓损伤患者的生活质量。
