  • Assessment
    What is the benefit of nutrition care provided by a Registered Dietitian for Spinal Cord Injury patients in the acute care, rehabilitation, and community settings?
    • Conclusion

      Studies suggest that nutrition care provided by a Registered Dietitian as part of a multidisciplinary team results in improved SCI patient nutrition-related outcomes in the acute care, rehabilitation, and community settings.  SCI patients experienced improvements in nutrient deficiencies, nutrition problems associated with social isolation and mobility issues, overweight and obesity, bowel management, swallowing, and nutrition-related chronic diseases.  Additional research is needed to further define the benefits of nutrition care and the role of the Registered Dietitian for SCI patients.
