Pressure injury is one of the most common and preventable complications after spinal cord injury — but around the world, cases are rising and outcomes are becoming more severe.

At ISCoS 2026, a special workshop on 8 October at 1:30pm will explore how early skin damage can escalate into infection, sepsis, and even death… and what clinicians, carers, and people with SCI can do to stop that spiral.

Through real‑life cases, live audience polling, and practical strategies that work in every healthcare setting, five presenters — Dr Martin Donhauser, Dr Belgin Erhan, Dr Aram Fard, Mrs Kamrunnaher Koly, and Dr Priya Iyer — will share evidence‑based approaches to prevention and treatment.

This session is ideal for health professionals, researchers, wound‑care teams, people with SCI, and carers who want to strengthen prevention and improve outcomes.

Join ISCoS 2026 and help turn the tide on pressure injury.

IDr Shin‑Yi Chiou’s session offers a fresh perspective on spinal cord injury rehabilitation — viewing it as an ongoing training process that extends far beyond the clinic. She discusses why trunk dysfunction is often overlooked, how simple exercise programmes can make a real difference, and how community‑based and remotely supported training models are transforming long‑term recovery.

Her message is clear: meaningful rehabilitation doesn’t have to rely on specialised equipment or constant supervision. With the right design, exercise can be safe, effective, and sustainable in home and community settings.

A great session for clinicians, therapists, researchers, and anyone passionate about improving long‑term rehabilitation access for people with SCI.
