Spinal
Cord Injury - SCI
Most
SCI occur as a result of traumatic injuries such as traffic
accidents or sporting injuries. Other causes include tumours
or inflammatory or degenerative diseases.
Spinal
cord injury can lead to physical difficulties of different
levels, loss of motion and sensation.
About
400 SCI patients in Hong Kong are treated every year.
"Nothing
is impossible". This was the philosophy of Christopher
Reeve (1952-2004), one of the world's most recognisable and
tireless advocates of SCI research and treatment.
