The objective of this study was to compare the rolling resistance of four common manual wheelchair tires (two pneumatic and two airless solid) and the solid tires used on a commercially available force- and moment-sensing wheel. Coast-down tests were performed with a wheelchair positioned on a two-drum dynamometer. Within ...

Study design: Cross-sectional, multicenter study. Objectives: To identify the most common problems of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in the early post-acute and the long-term context, respectively, using the International Classification 01Functioning, Disability and Health (lCF) as a frame of reference. Setting: International. Methods: The functional problems of individuals ...

This study sought to clarify the prospective and concurrent associations of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and pain with functioning and disability after burn injury. The sample was composed of consecutive patients admitted to a regional burn center with major burn injuries (N = 171 ) who were followed at ...

Study design: Correlation study. Objectives: To determine the effects of oral baclofen on body composition (fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM)), extra- and intracellular fluid compartments and glucose homeostasis (plasma glucose and plasma insulin concentrations) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) after controlling for spasticity. Settings: Laboratory settings at ...

Study design: Review by the spinal cord outcomes partnership endeavor (SCOPE), which is a broadbased international consortium of scientists and clinical researchers representing academic institutions, industry, government agencies, not-for-profit organizations and foundations. Objectives: Assessment of current and evolving tools for evaluating human spinal cord injury (SCI) outcomes for both clinical ...

Background/Objective: To determine the effects of spasticity on anthropometrics, body composition (fat mass [FM] and fat-free mass [FFM]), and metabolic profile (energy expenditure, plasma glucose, insulin concentration, and lipid panel) in individuals with motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Ten individuals with chronic motor complete SCI (age, 33 ...

Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of a subset of International Spinal Cord Injury Basic Pain Data Set (ISCIBPDS) items that could be used as self-report measures in surveys, longitudinal studies and clinical trials. Setting: Community. Methods: A subset of the ISCIBPDS items and measures of two validity criteria were administered ...

Background/Objective: To determine the validity, accuracy, and predictive value of the signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) using intermittent catheterization (IC) and the accuracy of individuals with SCi on IC at predicting their own UTI. Design: Prospective cohort based on ...
