Neuro-urologic disorders in the patient with spinal cord injury after vertebral fracture: progress in the uro-rehabilitative approach between diagnosis and treatment.
The treatment of urinary disorders in post-traumatic myelic pathology must necessarily include the physiatrist involved in the rehabilitation of the patient with spinal cord injury. The approach to the disability consequent to a spinal cord injury, in fact, cannot be separated from the rehabilitative treatment of bladder-sphincter deficit that always accompanies the clinical course of this pathology: neurourologic disorders always negatively influence the quality of the person's life, they are the cause of severe complications, and, at times, they are resistant to any combined medical-surgical-rehabilitative treatment.
