TeleSCI is a growing field with potential to improve access to care and health outcomes for individuals with SCI. It is used for preventive health, chronic pain management, mental health support and r...
KEY FINDING: TeleSCI is increasingly common and shows a positive effect on health outcomes, but more research is needed to determine the best practices.
Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2022 • April 14, 2022
This study compared locomotor-respiratory coupling (LRC) in ambulatory adults with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) to able-bodied controls during over ground and treadmill walking. The results in...
KEY FINDING: Participants with iSCI demonstrated significantly more LRC than able-bodied controls during over ground walking.
Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2022 • April 19, 2022
This retrospective study compared traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (TCSCI) and rapid progressive cervical spondylotic myelopathy (rp-CSM) to refine diagnostic criteria and clinical protocols. The...
KEY FINDING: T2-weighted MR images showed a high intramedullary signal in the injured segment for all patients at the initial examination.
