Quality of Life Research, 2022 • November 3, 2021
This study examined the internal consistency and longitudinal measurement invariance of the SCI-QoL-BDS, a brief quality of life questionnaire, among individuals with SCI/D undergoing first inpatient ...
KEY FINDING: The SCI-QoL-BDS demonstrated good internal consistency across all measurement time points during inpatient rehabilitation.
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2021 • December 1, 2021
The study evaluated the self-care ability and quality of life among Chinese patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries, also exploring the relationship between these factors and demographic, clinica...
KEY FINDING: More than half of the patients were dependent on caregivers for daily activities after a spinal cord injury.
World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2021 • October 16, 2021
This case report describes a patient with complete SCI who experienced disruption of SDBE after an episode of bladder overdistension leading to AD. The patient, who had successfully used SDBE for 23 y...
KEY FINDING: Bladder overdistension in a patient with complete SCI disrupted a long-standing SDBE routine.
Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2021 • October 31, 2021
This study developed and evaluated a Korean version of a hospital-based transitional rehabilitation program (TRP) for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, utilizing a daily living home (DLH) to simulate...
KEY FINDING: The Korean version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure showed functional improvement at the end of TRP, when compared to that before the TRP (49.3±6.9 vs. 62.5±6.0; p<0.05).
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2023 • January 1, 2023
This study identifies and explores literature related to PA promotion by HEPs for persons with SCI. HEPs predominantly consisted of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and leisure trainers/ther...
KEY FINDING: HEPs mainly consisted of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and leisure trainers/therapists, delivering interventions in rehabilitation centers and community settings.
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 • October 21, 2021
The study investigated the effects of tSCS and PNS on corticospinal excitability in healthy subjects using TMS. Three experiments were conducted to compare different stimulation parameters and their i...
KEY FINDING: Repeated pairing of TMS and tSCS, timed to coincide at the alpha-motoneurone, increases corticospinal excitability and influences functional motor output.
JRM-CC, 2021 • August 26, 2021
SAC are rare lesions that may present with a constellation of neurological symptoms: paraesthesia, neuropathic pain, paresis and gait disturbances, just like a (progressive) spinal cord injury due to ...
KEY FINDING: Spinal arachnoid cysts may present with a heterogeneous clinical picture.
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021 • October 24, 2021
This study investigated the effects of voluntary control on TSS- and ESS-evoked responses in individuals with SCI. Participants were tested in relaxed conditions and while attempting maximal voluntary...
KEY FINDING: Lower-extremity muscles were activated similarly during TSS and ESS when participants were instructed to relax.
Molecular Neurobiology, 2022 • November 22, 2021
The study aimed to investigate the effects of endurance training on the expression of growth factors and stimulation of neurotrophin-dependent signaling pathways after spinal cord injury (SCI). Endura...
KEY FINDING: Endurance training significantly increased the expression of growth factors (BDNF, GDNF) and their receptors (TrkB, Gfrα) in the spinal cord.
Neurotrauma Reports, 2021 • January 1, 2021
This study investigated the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury (SCI) by screening miRNA expression in plasma samples from individuals with and without SCI. The...
KEY FINDING: 383 miRNAs were differentially expressed in acute or chronic SCI versus no SCI.
