What prevents recovery of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)? Hear a general overview of SCI as well as personal accounts of spinal cord injury, followed by an examination of SCI recovery obstacles. Dr. Michael Fehlings, professor of neurosurgery at the University of Toronto and medical director of the Krembil Neuroscience Center in Toronto, provides an insightful overview of regeneration obstacles to SCI recovery. Dr. Brian K.

A clinical SCI researcher also reviews the results of translational research into SCI care.
