Introducing the revised International Standards on documentation of remaining Autonomic Function after SCI (ISAFSCI)

Abstract

During the last decade an international community of clinicians and scientists in the area of spinal cord injury (SCI) medicine became aware of the need to improve evaluation of autonomic function in individuals with SCI to optimize clinical management and determine efficacy of therapeutic interventions. This prompted an international collaboration between the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) and the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) to develop the International Standards documenting the remaining autonomic functions following SCI.
