Description
The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) brings you SCI Science Perspectives. The podcast is built around two-part dialogues with spinal cord injury (SCI) professionals regarding their emerging scientific work spanning the full spectrum of SCI research, from discovery to clinical application.
The SCI Science Perspectives podcast disseminates the latest-and-greatest scientific work in the SCI field via a conversation with researchers that approaches their work from two perspectives: the “scholarly” perspective and the “community” perspective. The process begins with ASIA’s Committees informing the podcast about new and influential scientific papers relevant to the committee’s interests. Then the podcast host(s) then interview the author(s) of the papers, approaching their project from each perspective. Finally, the conversation from each perspective is published as its own episode type: "Scholarly" and "Community" episodes. Keep an eye out too for "Admin" episodes too, communicating administrative information relevant to ASIA members and stakeholders.

Join us in this episode for throwback to conversations from the 2024 American Spinal Injury Association annual scientific meeting in Puerto Rico. Along with a presidential handoff from Suzanne Groah, MD, to Susan Charlifue, PhD—the first time in ASIA's history that an acting female president has handed the torch to an incoming female president—we chat with some of the winners of awards in both poster and oral formatted presentations. We hope you enjoy this episode as we remember the 2024 annual meeting and usher in a new president.
The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) founded and now develops the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam, more commonly known as the "ASIA exam." This exam, which assigns a level and "completeness" of SCI, is the most common neurological exam performed in those with SCI. The most recent updates included the addition of zone of partial preservation (ZPP) and a "non-SCI taxonomy" (listen in to learn what that means 😁). We hope you enjoy this this deep dive on the most recent update to the ISNCSCI, with Dr. Rudiger Rupp.
The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) institutionalized, and now stewards, the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam, the most ubiquitous neurological exam performed for spinal cord injury (SCI). Join us in this episode with Dr. Rudiger Rupp for a deep dive on the most recent update to the ISNCSCI, headed by ASIA's International Standards Committee chaired by Dr. Rupp. We hope you enjoy this zoom into the zone of partial preservation (ZPP) and non-SCI taxonomy, with Dr. Rudiger Rupp.
Join us in this episode for a conversation with Allison Kessler, MD, MSc on the topic of motherhood after spinal cord injury (SCI). In this conversation, Dr. Kessler discusses two recent publications that apply to the topic of motherhood after SCI: the peer-reviewed Motherhood after Spinal Cord Injury: Breastfeeding, Autonomic Dysreflexia, and Psychosocial Health: Clinical Practice Guidelines, and the corresponding "consumer guideline Breastfeeding Following SCI: A Consumer Guide for Mothers. We hope you enjoy this exploration of the important topic of mothering after SCI, with Dr. Allison Kessler.

Join us in this episode for a panel conversation on nontraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) with Alexandra Bennewith, MPA, Keara McNair, OTR/L, BCPR, ATP, Kristen Walden, BS, Ron Reeves, MD, and Stephen Burns, MD. Paralysis due to problem in the spinal cord come can come from many causes, and historically an emphasis has been placed on traumatic—like from an impact—SCI. As put forth by this panel of nontraumatic experts selected by ASIA's Education Committee, the time has come to integrate nontraumatic SCI into the existing networks of standardized reporting. The panelists discuss expert consensus, best practices, and future directions for classifying and tracking outcomes as to deliver better care for people living nontraumatic SCI. We hope you enjoy this episode as we usher in an era in the union of SCI regardless of cause.

Disorders of the spinal cord come in many forms, and when categorizing based on cause there has historically been an emphasis placed on traumatic—e.g., from an impact—SCI. As put forth by this panel of nontraumatic experts selected by ASIA's Education Committee, the time has come to integrate nontraumatic SCI into the existing networks of standardized reporting. We hope you enjoy this episode as we usher in an era in the union of SCI across etiology.
Join us this episode for a conversation with Dr. Sina Sangari of the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for a conversation about the paper titled "Spasticity Predicts Motor Recovery for Patients with Subacute Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury" published in the journal Annals of Neurology. Regardless of the functional implications of spasms, Dr. Sangari and his colleagues explain the predictive value that spasticity, early after an acquired spinal cord injury, can have in predicting recovery of volitional motor function. We hope you enjoy this scholarly episode that offers a fresh take on the classic topic of spasticity.

Join us this episode for a conversation with Dr. Parag Gad, co-founder and CEO of SpineX, for a conversation about the Spinal Cord Neuromodulator by SpineX and Scone to Treat Neurogenic Bladder, or the SCONE “CONTINENCE” Clinical trial (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05301335). Dr. Gad talks gives a brief history on SpineX, the scientific inspiration for the current neuromodulation trial targeting incontinence, and visions for the company's future commercial targets. This episode on a neuromodulatory device targeting urinary function was recorded in collaboration with our friends at Bladder Buzz, (in our opinion) the podcast on neurogenic bladder that "brings together physicians, researchers, and individuals living with neurogenic bladder" (https://bladderbuzzpodcast.buzzsprout.com/). We hope you enjoy this collab episode with Dr. Gad from SpineX.
