Abstract
PM&R plays an essential role in managing the individual with a spinal cord injury (SCI). Receiving care at an acute hospital and a rehabilitation center familiar with SCIs is critical. PM&R can guide the health care team and the patient/family through such a potentially life-changing event. Early consultation can help prevent complications and decrease stay length and mortality. A life-long relationship with the rehabilitation team is often recommended; team members such as navigators and multiple inpatient rehabilitation stays can help enhance care and opportunities for individuals with SCI.
