Objectives: To establish recommendations for designing, delivering, evaluating, and reporting exercise intervention research to improve fitness-related outcomes in people living with spinal cord injury (PwSCI).
Design: International consensus process.
Setting: (1) An expert panel was established consisting of 9 members of the governing panel of the International Spinal Cord Society Physical Activity Special Interest Group and 9 additional scientists who authored or co-authored ≥1 exercise randomized controlled trial paper involving PwSCI.
Study Design: Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the ALLRISC cohort study.
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of obesity and its association with time since injury (TSI) and physical activity (PA) in wheelchair users with long-standing (TSI > 10 years) spinal cord injury (SCI).
Setting: Community, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to know how satisfied COVID-19 patients were with their aftercare one year after being in the hospital.
- They used a special questionnaire to gather feedback from patients about their care, information they received, and any needs that weren't met.
- Most patients were generally happy with their care, especially their follow-up appointments, but many wanted more information about who to contact when they had health questions.
Study Design: Longitudinal cohort study.
Objectives: Examine the longitudinal association between mobility and level of physical activity (PA) and explore which other factors are also associated with level of PA in ambulatory people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) during the first-year post-inpatient rehabilitation.
Setting: Three SCI-specialized rehabilitation centers and the Dutch community.
Background: Health, fitness and lifestyle professionals can play important roles in promoting physical activity in groups at risk of developing an inactive lifestyle, such as people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Tailored counselling is a promising tool to promote and improve physical activity levels. To support professionals to effectively have a conversation about physical activity with clients with SCI, evidence-based training and resources are needed.
