Car accidents, swimming pool injuries, and many other falling accidents keep on occurring in every part of the world, and spine injuries are quite common during such disasters.

To provide the doctors and medical health teams with proper and complete knowledge for further directing the right and most effective care to a spinal cord injury patient, the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC) in collaboration with the Asian Spinal Cord Network (ASCoN), International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) and Livability is trying to establish an e-learning tool, which would be available to all those medical and paramedical professionals working in this field.

This tool will be very useful for the medical teams in all parts of the world and will offer them with educational resources and other crucial information in regard to comprehensive management of spinal cord injury
(SCI). Whether it may be a doctor, nurse, occupational therapists or social worker, this tool will be useful for all professionals and patients alike.

Containing different modules to deal with basic and comprehensive management of SCI, this tool would enable the medical teams to perform in an effective manner and result in proper management and satisfactory outcome among the spinal cord injured patients.

Nutritional management, clinical assessment of patients with SCI, pre-hospital and acute care of SCI management, physiotherapy, sexuality and fertility related issues, psychosocial management of the patient and family, vocational rehabilitation, bowel care and management, occupational therapy, etc, are the topics which would be covered in the modules of this tool.
