Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background: Approximately 12% of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) meet physical activity(PA) recommendations. There is limited research understanding the factors that enable adults with SCI to maintain their PA participation. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore how and why adults with SCI maintain PA. Methods: Using a multiple case study design, four adults (20-44 yrs.) living with a SCI who maintained PA for one or more years post rehabilitation consented to participate in this study. The adults with SCI participated in two interviews and submitted a reflection log and pictures. The adults who facilitated participants PA were also interviewed. A cross-case analysis was used to analyze the cases to identify the how and why of PA maintenance in this population. Results: The results of this study suggest specific reasons as to why adults with SCI maintain their PA participation including, minimizing health risk, maintaining strength for transfers and wheeling, and the inclusive environment of parasport. Participants reported the strategies they engage in to maintain PA included prioritization, time management, accountability by teammates or peers, and finding enjoyable activities. Conclusion: The results from this multiple case-study provides novel insight and direction to continue to explore the promotion of physical activity maintenance in the adult SCI population. The findings of this study revealed that the awareness and direct connection participants made between their improved health and SCI self-care (ease in transfers and mobility) and physical activity strongly supported their physical activity maintenance. The results also align with existing frameworks including experiential aspects of participation, or quality participation among the disability community. Future research is warranted in understanding the the influence physical activity prior to SCI may have towards physical activity maintenance and increasing adults with SCI connection of their physical activity maintenance with on-going health benefits"--

This book was released on 2013 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every year between 250 000 and 500 000 people suffer a spinal cord injury, with road traffic crashes, falls and violence as the three leading causes. People with spinal cord injury are two to five times more likely to die prematurely. They also have lower rates of school enrollment and economic participation than people without such injuries. Spinal cord injury has costly consequences for the individual and society, but it is preventable, survivable and need not preclude good health and social inclusion. Ensuring an adequate medical and rehabilitation response, followed by supportive services and accessible environments, can help minimize the disruption to people with spinal cord injury and their families. The aims of International perspectives on spinal cord injury are to: ---assemble and summarize information on spinal cord injury, in particular the epidemiology, services, interventions and policies that are relevant, together with the lived experience of people with spinal cord injury; ---make recommendations for actions based on this evidence that are consistent with the aspirations for people with disabilities as expressed in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Book excerpt: Physical rehabilitation for walking recovery after spinal cord injury is undergoing a paradigm shift. Therapy historically has focused on compensation for sensorimotor deficits after SCI using wheelchairs and bracing to achieve mobility. With locomotor training, the aim is to promote recovery via activation of the neuromuscular system below the level of the lesion. What basic scientists have shown us as the potential of the nervous system for plasticity, to learn, even after injury is being translated into a rehabilitation strategy by taking advantage of the intrinsic biology of the central nervous system. While spinal cord injury from basic and clinical perspectives was the gateway for developing locomotor training, its application has been extended to other populations with neurologic dysfunction resulting in loss of walking or walking disability.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Problem: Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) face many barriers to physical activity (PA) participation. Research has demonstrated that participating in physical activity can have positive benefits for both quality of life (QOL) and reducing the risk of secondary health complications. Physical activity programs offered over the Internet have not been extensively researched, but may provide a solution to assist persons with SCI in overcoming barriers to PA participation. Methods: This integrated article dissertation focused on the feasibility of persons with SCI participating in a ten week exercise study delivered over the Internet to determine the impact of exercise on their quality of life and satisfaction with physical function, as well as their total number of PA participation minutes. The QOL outcome measures chosen for the study were selected based on a systematic review of QOL measures used in various PA interventions with persons with SCI. One additional aspect of this research was a comparison between a counseling group (online PA classes and four counselling sessions) and an active control group (online PA classes only) to determine differences in PA participation minutes and social cognitive predictors of PA participation. Results: With respect to participant satisfaction, it was determined that PA classes delivered over the Internet was a feasible delivery method. In each of the six domains of participant satisfaction, the median score was highly satisfied (4/4). The mean score for all participants also increased in each of the seven domains on the Satisfaction with Physical Function Survey from baseline to follow-up. On the Delighted/Terrible scale, 87% of the participants were 'pleased' or 'delighted' with the physical and psychological changes they perceived from participating in the intervention. In the counseling and control group study, there was a multivariate effect of group in the area of action planning. More specifically, the counseling group was better able to create action plans at all measurement time points compared to the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in total PA participation minutes between the two groups, nor were there differences in QOL over the length of the intervention. Conclusions: Physical activity programs offered over the Internet may be a feasible and acceptable delivery method for persons with SCI who may face barriers to PA participation. Participating in PA can result in positive perceptions of physical and psychological changes for persons with SCI.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contributes to the scholarship on health outcomes among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI is a dramatic, life-changing trauma that requires long-term and evolving care. Life with SCI entails learning to self-care, acquiring the right wheelchair, home adaptations, and learning to move inside and outside the home. Improving health outcomes measurement of this subgroup may benefit them by making SCI care more patient-centered, i.e. reflective of patients' preferences and values. Three studies were conducted: (1) an assessment of associations between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and evaluative well-being (EWB) measures collected in the United States (U.S.) Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMISi ) project (Chapter 2); (2) a comparison of perceptions of quality of life (QOL) among adults with SCI in the U.S. versus the United Kingdom (UK) (Chapters 3 and 4); and (3) development and psychometric evaluation of a Fatigability Index for full-time wheelchair users with SCI (Chapter 5). The first study provides further evidence that there is an empirical overlap between HRQOL and EWB. The second study found that for adults living with SCI, good QOL is essential for successful rehabilitation. Differences between interviewees from the US and the UK in perceived medical care and functional adjustment suggest that factors affecting QOL may relate to broader health system characteristics. Also, understanding what HRQOL and subjective well-being (SWB) measures are valued by adults living with SCI can lead to selection of informative instruments, which could help clinicians to complement and tailor established care and rehabilitation protocols for individual needs. Specifically, measuring and managing fatigue in the context of SCI is important. The third study developed an instrument assessing physical and mental fatigability in adults with SCI. The instrument covers a comprehensive list of health problems and activities associated with fatigue. The psychometric evaluation shows high measurement precision in discriminating among individuals with a relatively wide range of fatigability. The resulting patient chart, the Fatigability Vector, highlights causes of fatigue and areas requiring immediate intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 40% of all people with spinal cord injuries are now over the age of forty-five, and 25% have had their injury for twenty years or more. We now live at a time when medical advances have made it possible for those with spinal cord injuries to live an essentially normal life span, and to lead full, meaningful, and productive lives. As is true for their friends and colleagues, they work, raise families, and compete in sports. The wear and tear associated with aging and SCI means that these individuals must deal with the fact that the effects of normal aging are superimposed on those of the spinal cord injury, and activities that once might have been easy in many cases become increasingly difficult. Perhaps pushing a wheelchair up a hill or transferring in and out of a car is more challenging than it once was. Heart disease, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and pressure sores are common health ailments specific to those with SCI; declining financial resources and aging caregivers are common social problems. This is the definitive guide to dealing with the major challenges faced by those with spinal cord injuries, as related to health, finances, and their social support system. It is primarily designed to identify medical and nonmedical problems that individuals may face as they live with SCI for a number of years. Medical issues are considered by body system and include discussions of the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, the urinary system, the musculoskeletal system, the skin, and psychological issues. Following these discussions of common medical issues related to SCI is a section that deals with mobility and transportation issues, including wheelchairs, the selection of vans and minivans, and the usefulness of a fresh look at rehabilitation issues. A section on managing finances includes a chapter on dealing with home health attendants while appendices provide information for caregivers, a glossary of commonly used terms in SCI, and a helpful list of resources. A wealth of practical advice by other people with spinal cord injuries as well as experts in the field has also been provided to help tackle the daily challenges faced by those with SCI. This book will bring a better quality of life to the reader living with SCI. Through vigilance and planning, a person with spinal cord injury can age gracefully and have a good quality of life for many years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining 25 years of clinical, research and teaching experience, Dr Lisa Harvey provides an innovative 5-step approach to the physiotherapy management of people with spinal cord injury. Based on the International Classification of Functioning, this approach emphasises the importance of setting goals which are purposeful and meaningful to the patient. These goals are related to performance of motor tasks analysed in terms of 6 key impairments. The assessment and treatment performance of each of these impairments for people with spinal cord injury is described in the following chapters: training motor tasks strength training contracture management pain management respiratory management cardiovascular fitness training Dr Harvey develops readers' problem-solving skills equipping them to manage all types of spinal cord injuries. Central to these skills is an understanding of how people with different patterns of paralysis perform motor tasks and the importance of differentmuscles for motor tasks such as: transfers and bed mobility of people wheelchair mobility hand function for people with tetraplegia standing and walking with lower limb paralysis This book is for students and junior physiotherapists with little or no experience in the area of spinal cord injury but with a general understanding of the principles of physiotherapy. It is also a useful tool for experienced clinicians, including those keen to explore the evidence base that supports different physiotherapy interventions.
