In the SCIPOWeR Lab, we are committed to advancing the understanding of psychosocial adaptation to spinal cord injury (SCI). Our research is dedicated to identifying factors that promote resilience and improve the quality of life for individuals living with SCI. We are pleased to share our latest contributions to the field.
