Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can have devastating and life-long consequences that are dependent on the location and magnitude of trauma to the cord. Although it is difficult to account for every worldwide incident, the World Health Organization estimates that over 15 million people globally live with a condition that is categorised as SCI. In the absence of a cure, there is an urgent need to develop cost-effective, time-efficient, and above all, evidence-based therapies that can be implemented in a clinical setting.
