How can technology aid in spinal cord injury recovery?

On Behalf of The Hodge Law Firm, PLLC | Apr 30, 2021 | Personal Injury |

Spinal cord injuries include any damage to your spinal cord. Spinal cord injuries can result in permanent changes to how your body functions. 

While your spinal cord injury may not be reversible, technology continues to improve the lives of many patients. According to Mayo Clinic, researchers are always developing new treatments and medications that may promote cell regeneration. After your initial treatment and rehabilitation, you may benefit from the following technologies. 

Modern wheelchairs 

Manufacturers have improved wheelchairs. They are lighter and more comfortable than they have been in the past. In some cases, you may be able to find a wheelchair that can travel rough terrain and climb stairs. Electric wheelchairs may also have functions to allow you to reach high places. 

Electrical stimulation and electronic aids 

Electrical stimulation devices produce actions. These devices control your muscles so that you may be able to stand, walk or grip items. There are a lot of electronic devices that you can use to make your life easier. Any aid that uses electricity is an electronic aid. You may have a device controlled by voice activation, a remote or switches. Also, you may be able to use robotic gait training to retrain yourself how to walk after a spinal cord injury. 

Sometimes, you will receive your prognosis soon after an injury. Your recovery begins about a week to six months following the initial injury. While most of your recovery happens in the first six months, there is still room for improvement throughout your life. Utilizing technology can help you regain some of your independence again.
