TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Epidemiological and clinical features of spinal-cord lesions from motorcycle crashes JO - Proceedings of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury conference A1 - Kraus, Jess Frank A1 - Franti, C.e.

Since present treatment offers little hope of restoring neurologic function, prevention of such injuries and limitations of sequelae is presently the best approach to combating this injury. A significant proportion of spinal-cord injuries related to motor vehicles involve motorcycles. Epidemiologic features of motorcycle crashes that produce spinal-cord injury, and the severity, types, and pattern of spinal-cord and other injuries sustained, are described.
