American Paraplegia Society
Founded in 1954, and incorporated in 1977, the American Paraplegia Society (APS) is dedicated to improving the quality of medical care delivered to persons with spinal cord impairment (SCI).

Mission
The mission of the American Paraplegia Society is to advance spinal cord medicine through state of the art education, dissemination of information, and promotion of research and advocacy.  American Paraplegia Society collaborates with researchers, physicians, and the entire spectrum of health care providers who serve persons with spinal cord injuries/disorders.

In fulfilling this mission, APS partners with the Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals, convening an annual scientific conference to report state-of-the-art techniques, disseminate information about scientific research and technological breakthroughs, discuss advances in research and the latest standards for achieving optimal health care, including rehabilitation and lifetime care of individuals with SCI. It is a direct result of this exchange of scientific data that research is advanced and encouraged. Examining data arising from scientific investigations and assessing their impact on clinical care are essential to establishing standards of care, adopting new diagnostic techniques, and treatment protocols to provide cost-effective quality care.

Goals
Increase knowledge about spinal cord impairment and related problems

• Present current clinical and research data related to traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injury
• Review current information on diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitative techniques
  Enhance practice skills and techniques of clinicians working with individuals with spinal cord impairment
• Explore the spectrum of disease that directly affects the care of individuals with spinal cord impairment
• Identify research issues and priorities
• Provide a forum for professional interchange among physicians and other health care professionals

APS Leadership

[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”single solid” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”#376f90″ top_margin=”-25px” bottom_margin=”25px” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”no” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”left” /][fusion_text]

The American Paraplegia Society (APS) was founded after World War II America by a group of dedicated Veterans Administration (VA) physicians and scientists.  Caring for wounded veterans made these professionals acutely aware of the need for a concerted effort to understand the implications of spinal cord injury (SCI).  To meet this need, they founded the APS in 1954.  The history of its first 50 years mirrors the development of spinal cord medicine, now a subspecialty of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR).

The organization took root in the 1970’s when it was incorporated as an independent entity.  Since that time, the APS has flourished, as demonstrated by the proliferation of research, educational and professional activity under its auspices.

For decades, APS members have joined professionals in nursing, psychology, social work and therapy disciplines in hosting an annual meeting that showcases comprehensive clinical care and research in the field. In October of 2009, the American Paraplegia Society officially merged with the ASCIN, PSW and TLC organizations forming the Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals. Sixty years after the founding of APS, the need for specialists to care for patients with SCI is greater than ever. The APS section now sustains the rich legacy of physician and doctoral level spinal cord injury specialists who are committed to interdisciplinary patient care, research and education.
