A host of SCI model systems researchers presented and delivered lectures to advance the field of spinal cord injury at the 2016 American Spinal Injury Association Scientific Meeting held in Philadelphia, PA from April 14-16, 2016. The following SCI model systems researchers have submitted conference presentation information to the MSKTC:
New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center
- Alan Jette, PhD, PT, principal investigator for the New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center served as a panel member during the Demographics/Measurement session and presented, SCI-FI/AT Short Forms Achieve High Measurement Reliability.
- David Rosenblum, MD, co-principal investigator for the New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center presented the poster, New England Spinal Cord Injury Toolkit: In Theory and In Practice. This poster covers the development and usage methods of the SCI Toolkit as well as feedback and future plans for the resource.
- Bethlyn Houlihan, associate director of the New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center presented the poster, Strategies for Peer Telecounseling: Opening the Black Box in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury. This poster highlights process data trends from a recently completed site-specific randomized control trial, My Care My Call, a peer-led telehealth intervention aimed to empower individuals to address their primary healthcare needs.
Rocky Mountain Regional Spinal Injury System
- Susan Charlifue, PhD, FISCoS, FACRM, co-project director of the Rocky Mountain Regional Spinal Injury System presented Reinventing Yourself After SCI: An Educational Intervention to Enhance Self-Efficacy Skills.
- Daniel Lammertse, MD, co-project director of the Rocky Mountain Regional Spinal Injury System presented Diaphragm Pacing Follow Up.
South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System
- Elizabeth Roy Felix, PhD, project director of South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System presented, Effectiveness of an At-home Exercise Program on Shoulder Pain and Pathology. The objective of this presentation was to discuss results of the STOMPS strengthening protocol for improving shoulder pain in persons with SCI and evaluate quantitative ultrasound measures of supraspinatus tendon health before and after STOMPS program.
- Mark Nash PhD, co-principal investigator of South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System presented, Energy Expenditure and Fuel Homeostasis During and After a Single Bout of Circuit Resistance Exercise in Persons with and without Spinal Cord Injury. The objective of this presentation is to analyze fuel use during and following exercise in persons with paraplegia and tetraplegia.
- Elizabeth Roy Felix, PhD and George Mejia-Galvis, MD from the South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System presented the poster, Demographic factors affecting the development of neuropathic and non-neuropathic pain after SCI.
Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of the Delaware Valley
- Ralph Marino, MD, project director of the Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of the Delaware Valley presented, Responsiveness of the Capabilities of Upper Extremity Test at the General Session. This presentation assessed the responsiveness of the Capabilities of Upper Extremity Test (CUE T). Dr. Marino also presented, Spinal Cord Injury Exam and Classification at the Spine Symposium.
Northern New Jersey Spinal Cord Injury System (NNJSCIS)
- Steven Kirshblum, MD co-director of the Northern New Jersey Spinal Cord Injury System gave two lectures titled, When You Come to a Fork in the Road: Lessons Learned and a Map for the Future and Patterns of Sacral Sparing Components and Neurological Recovery in Newly Injured Persons with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury.
