Continence-related complications have a significant impact on the lives of people with SCI and their families. Interventions using technological tools and peer participation could reduce the burden associated with continence-related complications. Specific instruments are needed to facilitate evaluation, goal setting, and promote discussion of continence to allow HCPs to support people with SCI. Structured follow-up for SCI survivors should also focus on their needs to improve knowledge, facilitate decision making, and promote preventive behaviours.
