Spinal Injury

This program offers an in-depth look at paraplegia and quadriplegia, explaining the physical, social, sexual, and psychological effects of spinal injury. It profiles a member of the first American expedition to climb Mt. Everest and a paraplegic since 1968, who discusses what life is like in a wheelchair, and a quadriplegic family-sexual counselor, who discusses some of the sexual and psychological effects of paralysis on the family. The program emphasizes the need for paralysis education and for specialized spinal cord injury treatment and rehabilitation. (19 minutes)
