Persons with Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries

We provide comprehensive seamless services for people with cervical spinal cord injuries, from medical care during the recovery period to reintegration into society. We provide them with support for community living, workplace re-entry, and seeking for new employment opportunities.

Cervical spinal cord injuries arising from an accident or illness can significantly hinder daily life activities, largely due to tetraplegia and associated bladder and rectal disorders. Upon discharge from the acute hospital, patients often lack arrangements for transportation, such as a wheelchair or car, or the necessary adjustments to their living conditions. Therefore, because of the significant support needed, people with cervical spinal cord injuries who require wheelchairs are unable to immediately return to community living. Consequently, these hindrances severely impact work and leisure activities, creating difficulty in finding and returning to employment.

Our team of doctors, nurses, care workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, exercise therapists, social workers, and other healthcare professionals work together to provide a variety of support to enable people with cervical spinal cord injuries to live in the community again. In addition to medical services at Hospital, we continue to provide welfare services at Rehabilitation Services Bureau. Through this process, we collaborate in supporting people with cervical spinal cord injuries to regain their independence in performing daily activities, maintain suitable living arrangements in a community setting, participate in lifelong sports activities, and drive a car. We also offer employment support to facilitate their return to work, including remote work.

In terms of logistical support, we aim to provide maximum support to people with spinal cord injuries by collaborating with Research Institute to develop regenerative medicine, as well as assistive technologies and self-help devices . College hosts annual specialized training sessions to disseminate our knowledge and experience in rehabilitation of spinal cord injury across the country.
