International Center for Spinal Cord Injury at Kennedy Kreiger Institute
Link: http://www.spinalcordrecovery.org

"Research, Restoration, Recovery"

For many years, conventional wisdom held that most improvement from spinal cord injuries occurred in the first six months of recovery, and that improvement was impossible after two years. "Rehabilitation" focused mostly on teaching patients how to compensate for injuries thought to be irreversible. Conventional wisdom was wrong.

The International Center for Spinal Cord Injury (ICSCI) at Kennedy Krieger was founded on the philosophy that individuals with paralysis can always hope for recovery of sensation, function, mobility and independence, even many months or years after their injuries. The Center welcomes adult patients, but may be particularly beneficial for children. The first facility in the world with a unique focus on rehabilitation and restoration for children with paralysis, the Center has concentrated its efforts on a group of patients whose bodies’ natural tendencies to grow and repair makes them even more likely to benefit from intense rehabilitation.
