Participation Research

KEY FINDING: SCI severity scales are used to estimate the functional prognosis of patients after traumatic events. These scales can be divided into those assessing neurological deficit and those assessing functional abilities.

KEY FINDING: SCS can help improve neuropathic pain originating from damage to the central nervous system, though responses to chronic bone, joint, and disk pain may be less pronounced.

KEY FINDING: Athletes with SCI showed superior QoL in physical, psychological, social relationships, self-evaluation domains, and overall scores when adjusted for age.

KEY FINDING: Four key variables were identified for predicting HRQoL: ECOG score, targeted therapy, anxiety scale, and number of comorbidities.

KEY FINDING: The Arabic version of the NBSS-SF demonstrated good internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82 for the overall score.

KEY FINDING: Intermittent self-catheterization (ISC) did not show a superior disease-specific urinary quality of life compared to continuous indwelling catheterization.

KEY FINDING: Engagement in LTPA accounted for a significant portion of the variance in physical health QOL, psychological QOL, social relationships QOL, and environmental QOL.

KEY FINDING: The mental and physical aspects of the participants’ quality of life declined significantly during the epidemic compared to the pre-epidemic period.

KEY FINDING: Better sleep quality is associated with more frequent, less restricted, and more satisfactory participation in individuals with SCI.

KEY FINDING: Being recruited from the SSRF was an independent negative correlating factor of the SHC sum score with an unstandardized coefficient of −1.12.
