Course overview

This course overviews cardiorespiratory dysfunction following a cervical or upper thoracic spinal cord injury. Given that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in individuals with SCI, this course explores the impacts of autonomic dysfunction, respiratory and skeletal muscle weakness, and physiologic adaptations on cardiopulmonary health. Participants will review relevant cardiopulmonary physiology, injury-specific pathophysiology, and advanced physical therapy evaluation and treatment strategies to optimize cardiovascular and respiratory function in this population.
