Abstract
Women encompass about 20% of all the traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) population and there is increased incidence and prevalence of women with SCIs. The most recent data estimate that approximately 40,000-45,000 women with SCI are living in the United States, increasing from previous years, with the most common cause still being motor vehicle collisions. Throughout their lifespan, women with SCI present with unique healthcare needs compare to the male population. Therefore we present a comprehensive summary to empower and equip all providers with awareness of these needs and recommendations of care.
