UCLA Spinal Cord Injury Symposium
Activity Details
Activity Name:
UCLA Spinal Cord Injury Symposium
Needs Assessment:
The UCLA Spinal Cord Injury Symposium is a one-day course that presents contemporary and future strategies in the management of spinal cord injury. The first half of the day emphasizes the clinical management of spinal cord injury ranging from initial patient evaluation through postoperative rehabilitation. The management of both chronic spinal cord injury related to cervical spondylotic myelopathy and acute traumatic spinal cord injury will be discussed in didactic lectures, case presentation, and question and answer sessions. Recent evidence-based studies will be utilized. The second half of the course will be focused on emerging basic science and clinical research, and delves into novel functional restoration and neural repair strategies including nanotechnology, dietary supplementation, stem cells, and robotics.
Course Objectives:
The purpose of this course is to increase competency in the management of patients with chronic and acute spinal cord injury. Additionally, this program seeks to increase familiarity with the research strategies that are shaping the management of spinal cord injury currently and in the future.
Attendees completing this course will increase skills and knowledge to better:
Evaluate and treat both acute and chronic spinal cord injury patients, including operative and nonoperative options as well as critical care management
Contrast the anterior and posterior surgical approaches for cervical spondylotic myelopathy and distinguish which approaches are the most optimal for a specific clinical presentation
Describe the role of sagittal balance and other spinal deformity parameters in the pathogenesis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and incorporate these measurements into clinical practice
Compare traditional and novel rehabilitation strategies following spinal cord injury and formulate individualized treatment plans
Define the etiology of chronic pain in spinal cord injury patients and employ the available operative and nonoperative options to improve pain levels in these patients
Identify the areas of controversy in the management of traumatic spinal cord injury based on evidence-based guidelines
Describe the basic science and clinical research strategies that are actively being translated into the treatment for spinal cord injury patients
Explore the basic science and clinical research strategies that are likely to be translated into the treatment for spinal cord injury patients in the future
