Abstract
Paralysis from spinal cord injury (SCI) is a catastrophic condition with diminishing gains in functional recovery over time, often with severe walking limitations and some degree of permanent disability.1,2 The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) cares for the single largest population of people with SCI in the US. Approximately 17 000 veterans with SCI are seen annually in 1 of 25 spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D) centers (eFigure 1 in Supplement 1).3Keywords
