Patient-reported effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury.

Objectives: Assess pateint-reported effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) on spasticity after multiple treatment.

Design: An uncontrolled prospective case series study.

Setting: A rehabilitation hospital.

Experiences of Participants with Spinal Cord Injury at an Active Rehabilitation Camp.

This study explored the physical, social, and psychological benefits of an active rehabilitation (AR) camp as experienced by participants with spinal cord injury (SCI), and perceived fitness and mastery of being physically active six months after the camp. The study used a mixed-method design with pre- ( = 23), post- ( = 23), and follow-up questionnaires ( = 18) and individual interviews ( = 8). Fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to analyze the quantitative data and qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data.

Quality of life and psychological outcomes of body-weight supported locomotor training in spinal cord injured persons with long-standing incomplete lesions.

Study Design: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) data from two parallel independent single-blinded controlled randomized studies of manual (Study 1) and robotic (Study 2) locomotor training were combined (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT00854555).

Objective: To assess effects of body-weight supported locomotor training (BWSLT) programs on HRQOL in persons with long-standing motor incomplete spinal cord injury and poor walking function.

Robot-assisted locomotor training did not improve walking function in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To assess the effects of robot-assisted locomotor training in patients with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Design: Randomized single-blind controlled clinical trial.

Setting: The intervention site was an outpatient clinic, and pre- and post-evaluations were performed in a rehabilitation hospital.

Manually assisted body-weight supported locomotor training does not re-establish walking in non-walking subjects with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To assess the effects of manually assisted body-weight supported locomotor training in subjects with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Subjects: Twenty subjects with American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grades C or D and > 2 years post-injury.

Health status of regularly physically active persons with spinal cord injury.

Study Design: A non-controlled cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To make a descriptive examination of health status in persons with paraplegia and tetraplegia who exercise regularly according to Canadian guidelines.

Settings: Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.
