Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury
"Very educational - Very helpful to assess different areas of performance affected by sci"--MSOT Student
"Prior to this lesson, I knew very little about SCI. I had no clue how complex the SCI classification process was. I did not know that the injury could be complete or incomplete or that sensation with soft touch vs pinprick sensation provides different information about the level of injury. I feel like I learned a lot of important and fascinating information from this simulation."-- OTA Student
"Before I went over Jenny’s physical rehab scenario, I did not know much about SCI or the ASIA form. Learning about how vertebrae and how dermatomes are areas of skin on our body that rely on specific nerve connections on your spine is crucial. Even from the interview till therapy going through the whole process was definitely gaining knowledge experience."-- OTA Student
"After completing this case I feel more confident in my ability to administer the Short-Blessed Test and the ASIA. I also feel more confident in providing services to an individual who had a SCI."--OTA Student
By the end of this self-paced course, the learner will demonstrate foundational understanding of inpatient acute spinal cord injury evaluations and complications.
