Rehabilitation Research

KEY FINDING: A significant time effect (P < .05) for WISCI-II was observed, indicating improvement in walking capacity over the study period.

KEY FINDING: SCIWORA was the most common type of injury in children aged 5-14 years.

KEY FINDING: Participants emphasized the need for individualized goal setting that caters to their unique needs and preferences, rather than adhering to a standard procedure.

KEY FINDING: Older age is associated with lower functional recovery during inpatient rehabilitation for individuals with SCI.

KEY FINDING: Focus groups provided guidance on ergonomics, user interface, charging frequency, and key dimensions and mass of the device.

KEY FINDING: Vibration training was not feasible for all participants, suggesting an individualized approach to starting weight and progression may be necessary.

KEY FINDING: NMES significantly increases energy expenditure compared to sitting without NMES in individuals with SCI.

KEY FINDING: The combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and exercise training showed a better therapeutic effect on motor function than the single treatments.

KEY FINDING: Patients with MSCC showed a significant improvement in Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) scores after a six-week inpatient rehabilitation program.

KEY FINDING: Dysphagia in cSCI can stem directly from the neural injury, subsequent interventions like surgeries, or post-surgical complications.
