We invite physicians, other clinicians, researchers, nurses, graduate and post-graduate students and persons with spinal cord injury to share new ideas and technologies, innovative programs and research findings by submitting abstracts for workshop and poster presentations, in English, to be included in the conference program. Students are encouraged to participate.
