The spinal cord injury (SCI) affects many body systems (sensory, motor, autonomic, nervous system) and in the clinical picture that reflects as of paraplegia or quadriplegia. In addition to the musculoskeletal system, many other systems are impaired after SCI including cardiopulmonary, integumentary, genitourinary and gastrointestinal system. Psychosocial impact of SCI is just as great as physical impact. This publication defines ageing issues with SCI and highlights changes that occur in different body systems, gives all necessary recommendations, physiotherapy and rehabilitation interventions and describes what it is important to be done to live life not only the best as you can, but also to live healthier life as long as you can.
