Reliability and cross-cultural adaptation of the Turkish version of the Spinal Cord Injury Spasticity Evaluation Tool.

The Spinal Cord Injury Spasticity Evaluation Tool is a 7-day recall self-reported questionnaire that assesses the problematic and useful effects of spasticity on daily life in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). We aimed to determine the reliability and cross-cultural validation of the Turkish translation of the Spinal Cord Injury Spasticity Evaluation Tool (SCI-SETT). After translation and back translation of the Spinal Cord Injury Spasticity Evaluation Tool, 66 patients between the ages of 18 and 88 years with SCI, American Spinal Injury Association impairment scale grades from A to D with spasticity, and at least 6 months after injury were assessed.

Reliability of the Spinal Cord Assessment Tool for Spastic Reflexes.

Objective: To assess the reliability of the Spinal Cord Assessment Tool for Spastic Reflexes (SCATS).

Design: Observational reliability study of the SCATS.

Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation unit at an education and research hospital.

Spinal cord stimulators: typical positioning and postsurgical complications.

Objective: Implantation of a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is one option for pain control in individuals with chronic lumbosacral radicular or axial lumbar pain. The expected positioning of SCSs based on the location of pain, the types of electrodes (percutaneous vs surgical paddle), and the types of electrode arrays and the potential complications have not been described to date in the radiology literature.

Materials And Methods: A 5-year retrospective review of the radiology information system at our institution revealed 24 patients with images of 36 SCSs.
