Abstract
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from the complications of paralysis in addition to the diseases of the general population. Spinal injury centres in the UK are tasked primarily with looking after newly injured patients and patients with established SCI must often turn to their local hospitals and general physicians for inpatient medical care. This paper outlines investigation and management of some of the common conditions which the physician on the general ward might expect to come across in patients with SCI and also how best to maintain the general health of the SCI patient in hospital.
