Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC) Fact Sheets

The Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC), produces consumer-oriented fact sheets on topics related to spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and burn injury. The fact sheets are developed in collaboration with the SCI, TBI, and Burn Model Systems programs. These resources undergo expert and consumer reviews to ensure they are updated, evidence-based, and consumer-friendly.

  • Urinary Tract Infection and Spinal Cord Injury - Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common medical problems after SCI. The fact sheet offers information about UTI risk, and how to best prevent and treat it.
  • Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: What to Expect in the Trauma Center, Hospital, and Beyond - What to expect following TBI and how to support a loved one on his or her road to recovery.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) After Burn Injury - Common symptoms of PTSD after burn injury, and some treatment options for PTSD.
