Spinal Cord dedicates a Special Edition to "SwiSCI 360° Perspective – Results from the Swiss SCI Survey"

SwiSCI has been a research platform supported by Swiss Paraplegic Research in Nottwil, Switzerland for the past decade. Responding to the need to collect information from a comprehensive perspective on functioning, based on the interactive, person-environment model from WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), SwiSCI has provided the evidential basis for many focused studies both on methodological issues and on salient aspects of the experience of SCI and the societal response to the needs of people with SCI. This collection of papers reports on these studies and points the way forward for the implementation of these results.
