The Learning Health System for Spinal Cord Injury (LHS-SCI) is a collaborative initiative led by the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) and the International Society for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM).

Returning to meaningful work is a key aspect of life satisfaction, identity, and social participation for individuals with SCI.

Participation in social, community, and civic life is a fundamental aspect of health and well-being—and a central outcome of rehabilitation after SCI.

Recovery from SCI does not end with initial rehabilitation. Long-term health and quality of life depend on continuity of care, including access to specialized medical follow-up and comprehensive mental health support.

Health services research in SCI plays a critical role in understanding and improving the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of care for individuals with SCI.
