How we conduct research
The comprehensive approach of Swiss Paraplegic Research focuses on people with spinal cord injuries. By recording individuals’ health care situations throughout their lifespans, new problem areas, risk factors, needs and gaps in the provision and intervention options are identified. Specific improvement options are then systematically identified at all levels, ranging from clinical services to vocational rehabilitation and home care.
Swiss Paraplegic Research therefore collaborates with national and international research networks to ensure that the latest findings are applied to optimise healthcare provision and the inclusion of people with spinal cord injuries.
