摘要：

Data from 205 Craig Hospital patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) were analysed with regard to level of injury, age, length of time since SCI, disability (as measured by the Functional Independence Measure), handicap (as measured by the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique), and average annual costs for services relating to the SCI. Differences in disability, handicap, and costs of care were analysed by chronological age and length of time since injury. Older individuals showed significant increases in disability and handicap. When chronological age was added to the number of years post-injury, significant increases in disability, handicap, and costs of care were noted at all neurological levels.
