Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2022 • February 7, 2022
The study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Moorong Self-Efficacy Scale (MSES) for use with Italian-speaking individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The results indicated that ...
KEY FINDING: The Italian version of the MSES (MSES-IT) demonstrated strong internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87.
Global Spine Journal, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This review highlights the need for more research into peri-operative rehabilitation for DCM, drawing parallels with rehabilitation strategies used in stroke and SCI. It suggests that locomotor traini...
KEY FINDING: The current research on rehabilitation for DCM is limited, with a lack of randomized controlled trials.
Trials, 2022 • February 5, 2022
The SCI PREVOLT study is a multicentre randomized controlled trial with an economic and process evaluation. It will assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of electrical stimulation (ES) plus ...
KEY FINDING: The study aims to determine if electrical stimulation, alongside usual care, reduces pressure ulcer recurrences in individuals with chronic SCI.
European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2022 • June 1, 2022
This study explored falls among SCI patients and the ability of three clinical measures, including the HG test, SCIM III and ULL-SPUT, to discriminate between individuals with SCI with and without a h...
KEY FINDING: The ULL-SPUT data of faller participants were significantly higher than those of non-fallers (P<0.05).
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 • February 7, 2022
This study investigated the knowledge, attitudes, behavioral practices, and psychological impact of COVID-19 among people with spinal cord injury (SCI) undergoing in-patient rehabilitation in Banglade...
KEY FINDING: Participants generally demonstrated a satisfactory level of knowledge regarding COVID-19, with an overall mean knowledge score of 8.59 ± 2.3 out of 12.
Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This systematic review investigates the potential of early interventions to mitigate spasticity development after spinal cord injury (SCI). The review identified and analyzed control trials in both hu...
KEY FINDING: Animal studies suggest early interventions can reduce spasticity after SCI, influencing electrophysiological, behavioral, and histological measures.
Cells, 2022 • February 16, 2022
Stem cell therapies have shown promise in the acute-to-subacute phase of SCI, but are less effective in the chronic phase due to tissue remodeling. Regenerative rehabilitation, combining regenerative ...
KEY FINDING: Regenerative rehabilitation can directly influence transplanted cells, promoting differentiation into neurons and oligodendrocytes, and inducing plastic changes in the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord.
Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2022 • February 1, 2022
This study aimed to determine the feasibility and relevance of assessing corticospinal, sensory, and spinal pathways early after traumatic SCI in a rehabilitation setting. The study validated whether ...
KEY FINDING: Electrical perceptual threshold (EPT) measured at IFR correlated with LEMS in the chronic phases (r = −0.67).
Biomedicines, 2022 • January 29, 2022
This study investigates the efficacy of PELF-EMF treatment on a compression SCI mouse model, focusing on its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. The results indicate that PELF-EMF treatment...
KEY FINDING: PELF-EMF treatment reduced inflammation by decreasing inflammatory cell infiltration and astrocyte activation at the injury site.
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 • February 7, 2022
This Bayesian NMA of acupuncture-related techniques in treating urinary retention in SCI patients included 26 RCTs and found that EA combined with MOX, EA, MOX, and MA significantly increased treatmen...
KEY FINDING: Electroacupuncture combined with moxibustion ranks first in both CER (Clinical Effective Rate) and RUV (Residual Urine Volume).
