Introduction: Aviation safety sensitive personnel (SSP) function in highly complex environments. SSP mental health is thought to support safety, efficiency, and overall health. Research is needed to identify how to optimize and screen mental health across aviation SSP, but no consensus exists on the research priorities that need to be met.

- The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using haptic robot technology (Haptic Master) to enhance arm-hand function and skills in individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries (C-SCI).
- Five participants underwent a 6-week training program, with assessments on motivation, usability, and performance effectiveness.
- Results showed moderate usability and motivation scores, but limited improvement in functional outcomes, suggesting potential benefits of haptic training while highlighting the need for further research on its effectiveness across different C-SCI populations.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Objective: The Van Lieshout hand function test for tetraplegia (VLT) measures the quality of arm-hand functioning in persons with tetraplegia. It is valid, reliable and responsive.
Objectives: (1) To identify different patterns of changes in wheelchair exercise capacity in the period between the start of active spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation and 5 years after discharge; (2) to examine the pattern determinants of the change in wheelchair exercise capacity.
Design: Prospective cohort study. Measurements were recorded at the start of active inpatient rehabilitation, 3 months after the start, at discharge of inpatient rehabilitation, 1 year after discharge, and 5 years after discharge.
