Aging with a Spinal Cord Injury

Presented on October 9, 2012 at the University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle, WA.

What are the special concerns for people aging with a spinal cord injury and what can they do to age well and stay as healthy as possible? In this video, our panel of experts—five people with SCI who, taken together, have been living with SCI for 189 years!—discuss their experiences and share their methods for coping with changes and staying healthy and positive as they age.
