Rehabilitation Research

KEY FINDING: Boxing and battle ropes elicited higher relative EMG activity in people with mcSCI compared to controls.

KEY FINDING: No significant difference was found in the presence of NP among SCI patients in different mobilization phases (bedridden, wheelchair, assistive device).

KEY FINDING: Both VR training and FES improved sitting balance significantly in individuals with incomplete paraplegia.

KEY FINDING: Switching to NIV was more successful when implemented within one year of the spinal cord injury.

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.

KEY FINDING: Less than half of patients (49.9%) received their requested wheelchair within the facility's established timeframe guidelines.

KEY FINDING: Regenerative rehabilitation therapies are needed to circumvent the limitations of current treatment options and promote neurite regeneration and functional recovery following SCI, especially in the chronic phase.

KEY FINDING: SCES can be utilized to restore gait in patients who have suffered from the effects of spinal cord injuries (SCI).

KEY FINDING: Oral intake in an elevated head position was not safe for the patient, as it led to aspiration pneumonia.

KEY FINDING: Telehealth services are used for managing secondary complications of SCI, including physical activity, chronic pain, pressure ulcers and psychosocial dysfunction.
