Résumé |
The impact of musculoskeletal diseases on the overall function and well-being of a person with spinal cord injury (SCI) cannot be overstated. Even relatively minor musculoskeletal problems can lead to significant secondary disabilities and new societal limitations. This article reviews common musculoskeletal problems and related secondary disabilities associated with SCI. Following an overview on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of each condition, a typical case is presented with a discussion about diagnostic challenges and therapeutic options.
