lüll Spinal cord injury medicine 5 Preserving wellness and independence of the aging patient with spinal cord injury: a primary care approach for the rehabilitation medicine specialist Groah SL; Stiens SA; Gittler MS; Kirshblum SC; McKinley WOArch Phys Med Rehabil 2002[Mar]; 83 (3 Suppl 1): S82-9, S90-8This self-directed learning module highlights consideration and treatment of individuals with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI). It is part of the chapter on SCI medicine in the Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program for practitioners and trainees in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This article specifically focuses on the challenges of chronic disease prevention, diagnosis, therapeutic options, and the resultant impact on the person with long-term SCI. With cardiovascular disease becoming a leading cause of mortality in this population, risk factor modification through weight, lipid, and glucose control becomes more important. Likewise, bowel dysfunction increases with duration and severity of SCI. Conservative and surgical management options are discussed. Musculoskeletal repetitive trauma injuries occur commonly in long-term SCI but can be prevented with appropriate lifestyle or equipment modifications. These and other conditions occurring in the person with long-term SCI are closely related to psychosocial function with resultant social isolation, depression, and substance abuse. Thus, identification and surveillance of these comorbidities are addressed, with an emphasis on prevention.
