FONSECA DA COSTA BRASIL, Jackeline Michelle et al. Multidisciplinary interventions in the rehabilitation of spinal cord injury. Rev. Soc. cient. Parag. [online]. 2026, vol.31, e3104.  Epub Feb 18, 2026. ISSN 0379-9123.  https://doi.org/10.32480/rscp.2026.e3104.

Spinal cord trauma involves damage to the spinal cord and its structures, often due to impacts or falls. Injuries are classified according to their location and type, and they can lead to inflammation, cell death, and ischemia, hindering recovery. Sympto ms range from paralysis to emotional issues such as anxiety and depression. Therapeutic intervention is crucial, starting with stabilization at the accident site and the use of devices to prevent further damage. Initial management includes pain relievers and corticosteroids, along with imaging tests. Physical therapy is essential during both the acute and chronic phases to maintain function and mobility. Additionally, quality of life, social adaptation, and medical complications should be address ed through a multidisciplinary approach. Assistive technologies and psychological support are vital for the patient's reintegration and autonomy, as well as for adapting the environment. Preventing complications is key to improving their well-being.

Keywords : spinal cord injury; spinal cord trauma; adaptation; rehabilitation; electrostimulation; quality of life; functional recovery.
