Dr. Michael Fehlings is joined by Dr. Mohit Arora to discuss his recent publication in Spinal Cord “Evidence-based recommendations for health professionals to improve care of people with spinal cord injury and cognitive impairment: An update to the psychosocial clinical practice guide”. This episode covers the factors contributing cognitive impairment after SCI, cognitive screening approaches, and future directions for the field.

Learning goals:

• Cognitive impairment after spinal cord injury is common, frequently overlooked, can occur immediately after injury, and arises from multiple contributing factors. If not proactively addressed, it can significantly compromise rehabilitation and long-term outcomes.
• Routine, validated cognitive screening should occur early and continue across the lifespan, supported by tailored communication strategies and person-centred care.
• We now have clear, evidence- and consensus-informed recommendations, but meaningful impact depends on system level implementation, including workforce training and supportive clinical environments.
