Abstract

The past century has resulted in an explosion of knowledge centering around the basic pathophysiology of cervical spinal cord injury and treatment. We have gained significant ground in the fight for overcoming paralysis. In the next century, we must focus on continued and better educational programs for injury prevention, as well as molecular analysis of injury for reversal.
