Objective: To examine the length of time to complete wheelchair repairs and the relationship between negative outcomes and the factors that prevented or determined who performed the repairs.
Design: Survey, cross-sectional.
Setting: Nine spinal cord injury (SCI) Model Systems Centers.
Introduction: Recovery of lower urinary tract (LUT) and lower gastrointestinal tract (LGIT) is a high priority for people with lived experience following spinal cord injury (SCI). A universally accepted validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure of the individual sensory and motor components of LGIT and LUT function, which allows tracking of recovery is lacking. To address this literature gap, the SCI Bladder and Bowel Control Questionnaire (SCI-BBC-Q) was developed.

- The study aimed to compare two approaches to treating low blood pressure in patients with spinal cord injuries: one based on a blood pressure threshold regardless of symptoms (TXT) and the other based on treating symptoms (usual care, UC).
- A total of 66 participants were involved, with 32 providing data on how low blood pressure affected their therapy sessions; results showed that low BP concerns impacted therapy sessions similarly in both groups.
- The findings suggest that treating asymptomatic hypotension and orthostatic hypotension does not significantly change the amount of therapy received compared to treating symptomatic hypotension in this patient population.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) negatively impacts individuals' functional independence, and motor and sensory function. Intense walking training has been shown to facilitate recovery for individuals with chronic SCI. Powered robotic exoskeletons provide therapists with a tool that allows them to conduct walking training with less therapist effort as compared to conventional walking training.

Objectives: This study explores residential mobility patterns, the annual move rate, and reasons for moving among a community-living sample of adults with SCI.
Methods: A survey was conducted with 690 people at six SCI Model Systems centers in the United States between July 2017 and October 2020.
