Abstract
‘Restoration of (wheeled) mobility in SCI rehabilitation’ was the theme of a recent International Congress in Amsterdam, April 2004. ‘Restoration of mobility in spinal cord injury’ in its ultimate form would be to take away the cause of the mobility limitation, i.e. curing the spinal cord injury (SCI). Despite a large and basic research effort on neural regeneration, on spinal cord repair and on damage preventive – early intervention – strategies [30,52], there is no cure for spinal cord damage available today. In contrast to the strong financial research stimuli and the growing expectations on the success of neural repair as a cure for SCI, today’s reality is that SCI is non-curable.
