title: Towards prevention of spinal cord injury: the role of a national register.
abstract: The Menzies Foundation in Australia recently sponsored two technical meetings designed to reduce the incidence of spinal cord injury in the Australia-New Zealand area. From these meetings came unanimous support for the creation of a national Register to develop data and programmes for the prevention of spinal cord injury. The Foundation has since provided further funds for a Planning Committee to bring the Register into being. These developments are described.
