Journal ArticleDOI
Motor power differences within the first two weeks post-SCI in cervical spinal cord-injured quadriplegic subjects.
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to confirm the clinical impression that motor power significantly changed within the first 2 weeks after a spinal cord injury (SCI) and to determine the time for motor power assessment within thefirst 2 weeks post injury that best correlated with motor power determined 6 months post-SCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The CUE-T displays good internal consistency and excellent construct validity on preliminary testing, and push/pull tests should be revised to increase difficulty.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: New guidelines on thromboprophylaxis should be implemented into clinical practice in patients with SCI to promote standardization of care, decrease heterogeneity of management strategies and encourage clinicians to make evidence-informed decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Assessment of Walking Capacity Using the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury: Self-Selected Versus Maximal Levels
TL;DR: Many people with chronic SCI are capable of ambulating at multiple levels and for these people, ambulation at self-selected WISCI was more efficient as evidenced by greater velocity and decreased PCI and THBI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Length of stay and medical stability for spinal cord-injured patients on admission to an inpatient rehabilitation hospital: a comparison between a model SCI trauma center and non-SCI trauma center.
TL;DR: Patients admitted to IRF from the SCI trauma center (SCI TC) had significantly shorter acute care LOS and total LOS compared with patients admitted from non-SCITCs, and the incidence of pressure ulcers compared with non- SCI TCs was significantly lower.
