"Sometimes I just wanna be outside": A qualitative analysis of experiences with accessing community greenspace among people living with chronic mobility disability.

Exposure to nature is associated with better mental health in the general population, but prior evidence suggests that people living with severe, chronic mobility impairment from paralysis due to spinal cord injury (SCI) may not experience similar benefits. Since many people living with SCI use wheelchairs and other medical devices for mobility, further exploration of how people living with mobility disability experience greenspace is needed to achieve equity in access to all public places. We assessed experiences with accessing greenspace reported in a sample of people living with chronic SCI and the meanings they ascribe to these experiences for their health and quality of life.

Substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic among persons with traumatic spinal cord injury: A cross-sectional perspective.

Study Design: Analysis of data from two cohorts of Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Database (SCIMS) participants, pre-pandemic (2017-2019,  = 6368) and during pandemic (2020,  = 1889).

Objectives: To examine differences in substance use during the pandemic compared to the years prior to the pandemic.

Development of Composite Measures of Neighborhood Economic Factors for Use in Spinal Cord Injury Outcomes Studies: A Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Database Study.

Objective: To develop composite measures of neighborhood economic factors for use with the national Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMSs) database in cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations of the social determinants of health.

Design: Secondary data analysis of administrative data from the 2009, 2014, and 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates and survey data collected for the SCIMS database.

Setting: Community.

Experiences of patients, parents, and healthcare professionals in the process of transitioning from hospital to community after inpatient pediatric rehabilitation among children with special health care needs.

Purpose: Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) may experience disruptions in education due to extended hospitalizations. The purpose of this study was to describe how CSHCN experience educational supports during inpatient rehabilitation and identify the ongoing challenges when planning to return to school.

Materials And Methods: Semi-structured focus groups were conducted with parents ( = 12), former patients ( = 20), and rehabilitation professionals ( = 8).

Using Performance Status to Identify Risk of Acute Care Transfer in Inpatient Cancer Rehabilitation.

Objective: To identify patient factors associated with acute care transfer (ACT) among cancer survivors admitted for inpatient medical rehabilitation.

Design: An exploratory, observational design was used to analyze retrospective data from electronic medical records.

Setting: Data were obtained from 3 separate inpatient rehabilitation hospitals within a private rehabilitation hospital system in the Northeast.

Transfer Timing and the Length of Medication Weaning for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome.

Objective: Many infants with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) from prenatal exposure to opioids require transfer to a pediatric inpatient unit for medication weaning. The purpose of this study is to assess the difference in the duration of medication weaning between infants transferred by day of life (DOL) 14 versus later (DOL 15 and after) to a tertiary care setting for pharmacological and nonpharmacological management of NOWS.

Methods: This single-site retrospective cohort study uses medical chart data from infants with NOWS transferred to specialized care between May 2016 and June 2021 (n = 87).

Medical, dental, and optical care utilization among community-living people with spinal cord injury in the United States.

Context/objective: Information about patterns of healthcare utilization for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) is currently limited, and this is needed to understand independent community living after SCI. This study investigates self-reported healthcare utilization among community-living people with SCI and assesses disparities across demographic, socioeconomic, and injury-related subgroups.

Design: Secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data administered via telephone interview.

Prospective, Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Digital Exercise Therapy Application Compared With Conventional Physical Therapy for the Treatment of Nonoperative Knee Conditions.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and adherence of a home exercise therapy program using a digital exercise therapy application (DETA) compared with conventional physical therapy (PT).

Design: Parallel group, randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Two clinics in a tertiary care academic center.
