TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Spinal cord injury, Africa and women's concerns: sustaining our commitments as we move into the 20s JO - Spinal cord series and cases A1 - Alexander, Marcalee SP - e6 EP - e6 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 -

As we move into the future it is always good to be positive about possibilities and things we can do to improve the lives of people living with SCI/D and their friends and families. We are also concerned with those that are most in need. In light of this we are expanding our special foci process from India to Africa and working to highlight reports from Africa this year. We already have some papers that have been submitted and are interested to hear your experiences. In addition, we realize that more information is necessary about the issues of the minority of persons with SCIs, women. So, we are also soliciting case reports, series, and pilot studies pertaining to women’s issues. Moreover, for both areas, we would like you to continue to incorporate sustainability in as a focus of your work. Have you considered the reproducibility of what you do? Are you using standard terminology such as the International Standards for the Assessment of Autonomic Function after SCI, the International Data Sets and the International Standards for the Neurologic Classification of SCI? Also, have you considered the future of persons with SCI both locally and internationally in your initiatives and are your proposals relevant and sustainable around the world?
