Monitoring, training and studies on catheterising habits and neurogenic bladder care<\/h3>\n

In collaboration with the Neuro-urology Consultation, we study the uses, habits and problems arising as a result of intermittent or permanent bladder catheterization in order to establish guidelines and to advise our users on the best ways to manage evacuation habits after a SCI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Experimental treatments with shock waves for pressure ulcers and neurogenic bladder and pain treatment<\/h3>\n

Through the professionals of the multidisciplinary medical team and after receiving specific training on this technique, we use shock waves in different secondary injuries in order to study their effects in the improvement search that other techniques fail to achieve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Assessment of the facing process and the factors that improve the perception of the quality of life<\/h3>\n

The knowledge of the skills and features that predispose to an effective SCI facing process as well as the factors that lead to an improvement in the perception of quality of life are two of the main lines of SCI research. The department has a background knowledge for over 20 years on the facing and adaption process, the psychological rehabilitation and the study and research of the assessment of quality of life in people with SCI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
