Factors influencing on functional independence outcomes after hospitalization and rehabilitation in children with spinal cord injury

This study investigates factors influencing functional autonomy in children undergoing spinal cord injury rehabilitation, aiming to enhance clinical guidance at the China Rehabilitation Research Center. The research utilizes retrospective survey data, employing descriptive analysis, one-way ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression to examine factors impacting functional independence outcomes in children with SCI. Findings indicate that shorter intervals between spinal cord injury and rehabilitation intervention, along with the duration of rehabilitation treatment and the child's age, significantly affect functional recovery.

• 1
  The total SCIM-III score significantly improved from admission to discharge (p < 0.001), indicating functional gains during rehabilitation.
• 2
  The injury to recovery time interval had a negative correlation with the total difference in SCIM-III scale.
• 3
  Duration of rehabilitation treatment had a positive correlation with different age groups.
