Assistive technology (AT) plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI), offering innovative solutions to enhance mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. This paper explores the advancements in assistive technologies, including mobility aids, exoskeletons, smart wheelchairs, and home automation systems, tailored to the unique needs of SCI patients. By integrating these technologies into rehabilitation programs, individuals with SCI can overcome functional limitations and achieve greater autonomy in their daily activities. The study also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches involving clinicians, engineers, and caregivers to optimize the design, implementation, and accessibility of AT. Furthermore, this research underscores the potential of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, to further revolutionize SCI rehabilitation. Barriers such as cost, usability, and equitable access are discussed, with recommendations for addressing these challenges. The findings aim to inform healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers about the transformative impact of assistive technologies in improving outcomes for SCI patients.
