For those living with a spinal cord injury (SCI), most want to know how their quality of life will change.

Our teams are often asked:
“When can I resume doing what I love to do?”
“Will I be able to return to school or work?”

Through our personalized treatment plans for every SCI patient, our therapy and clinical teams create a foundation of skills to support the entire recovery journey. We focus on stretches, weight shifts in wheelchairs and joint range of motion exercises just to name a few. These skills help to set up our patients for achieving their recovery goals following injury.

This month, we’ll be highlighting our “Back to Basics” series, covering each care team member’s role in a SCI patient’s journey.

September marks Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Awareness Month. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, approximately 17,000 Americans acquire an SCI each year.

No two SCIs are the same, and a patient’s outcome can vary based on a number of factors, including the level of early intervention care and intensive rehabilitation.

Throughout SCI Awareness Month, we’ll be introducing a “Back to Basics” series, sharing information about SCI and how our care teams support patients as they work to recover as much function as possible.

On Christmas Day, Leo Hernandez suffered a ruptured aneurysm and wound up in a coma from which doctors weren’t sure he’d emerge. What followed was Leo’s championship run to recovery while his beloved Philadelphia team made their own run at the big game. A physician-led team of therapists, nurses and health care workers helped the 19-year-old learn to sit up, walk and talk again. He arrived at home just in time for the game … and the rest is history.

In April, Grace, a human resources coordinator from Harrisburg, fell 25 feet from a bridge into a shallow stream, where rocks broke her descent. An ambulance rushed her to Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, where an MRI confirmed she’d suffered a spinal cord injury. When she awoke from surgery, Grace discovered she couldn’t feel anything from the waist down.

She needed help to sit up from bed, and walking seemed out of the question. To regain her independence, Grace chose nearby Penn State Health Rehabilitation Hospital, where a physician-led team of physical and occupational therapists joined nurses to help her on her way.

Nearly six weeks later, on June 3, Grace went home. She can get in and out of bed without help, dress herself and walk with crutches. It was hard work, but within a few days of her admittance to the rehabilitation hospital, Grace knew she was on the right track. “OK,” she thought, “this is going to help me get my life back. … None of it has ever left God’s hands.” She plans to continue her recovery through an outpatient program.

You may have heard the words “aphasia” and “dysphagia” when supporting a loved one’s health journey and wondered what they mean and how they differ.

June is National Aphasia Awareness Month—a fitting time to highlight this communication disorder and contrast it with dysphagia, another disorder patients may face after injury or illness.

Aphasia affects a person’s ability to speak, read or write—although not necessarily their thinking. After a stroke or brain injury that damages the language centers in the brain, a patient may have trouble finding the right words, understanding what others say or comprehending text.

Dysphagia is the difficulty in swallowing, and can occur as a symptom of many different conditions, including brain and muscle disorders.

Stroke recovery goals can look very different for each stroke survivor. Some simply want to stand or eat on their own. Others envision returning to work, travelling the world or reclaiming the role of family event planner. The most common goal among patients? Returning home. Select Medical’s nationwide network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals focuses on helping patients do just that.
