The incidence of spinal cord injury (SCI) in the United States is approx 50 per million/yr; estimates of the prevalence rate vary, ranging from 525–1124 (1). Men are affected 2–4 times more frequently than are women, with a peak rate of onset between ages 16–25, critical years in the formation of interpersonal relationships (2).
