LIVING WITH A SPINAL CORD INJURY
A GIFT OF SHARED EXPERIENCE
Barbara and David S. Loeb’s gift to Einstein will help many lives throughout the community. The creation of the ‘Living with a Spinal Cord Injury’ videos ‘will not only give patients the knowledge to do what providers and therapists do, but they will also be able to do it themselves.’
It is gifts like these that have everlasting impacts for current, past and future patients.
LIVING WITH A SPINAL CORD INJURY
After a spinal cord injury, breathing may not be easy. The better you can breathe, the better you can speak, eat, cough, laugh and even sing. This video explores how a spinal cord injury impacts the main four breathing muscles, explains the importance of keeping those muscles strong in order to prevent infection and provides information needed to manage breathing for good health.
“As providers of service, we impart education and help individuals with SCI develop necessary life skills, but we can’t completely understand their emotional state, or their view of the future.”
Why be a Grateful Patient
The educational videos add another dimension to the daily education provided to patients and families during rehabilitation. These videos can help patients feel they are not alone and can live a wonderful life.
