Context: Clinical Practice Guidelines from the Consortium for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Medicine recommend daily self-screening of at-risk skin surfaces, but many Veterans with SCI describe challenges using the standard issue long-handled self-inspection mirror (LSIM).
Objective: The objective of this project was to compare the LSIM to a recently developed camera-based self-inspection system (CSIS). User feedback guided iterative engineering to improve and develop the new technology in preparation for transfer to industry.
Context/objective: Pressure injury (PrI) recurrence is common among persons with spinal cord injury and disorders (SCI/D) who undergo reconstructive flap surgery for pelvic stage 4 PrI (S4PrI). This paper describes the development and implementation of the Minneapolis Spinal Cord Optimization, Rehabilitation and Empowerment (SCORE), a preoperative interdisciplinary tool for risk assessment and mitigation, and reports its effect on the one-year flap failure rate (significant breakdown).
Design: Retrospective review.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of a data logger to accurately measure standing time and seat angle in individuals using standing devices, specifically for those with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
- Testing involved a standing frame and a standing wheelchair, comparing the data logger's measurements to a user-recorded log and motion capture data over two months.
- Results showed the data logger had exceptional accuracy (99.99999%) for standing classification and a strong correlation with seat angle and pressure measurements, suggesting it could help improve understanding of standing device effectiveness in health outcomes.
Introduction: Stroke is a significant health burden for veterans and the fifth leading cause of death for women. Compared to civilian women, women veterans have significant multimorbid physical and mental health conditions contributing to their stroke risk. This scoping review aimed to synthesize evidence on the stroke risk factors specific to U.

There is a paucity of exploration into factors influencing participation in meaningful social roles and activities within this population. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate influencers of participation among women Veterans with lower limb amputations.
