Functional passive range of motion of individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.

Objective: Functional passive range of motion (PROM) requirements for individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) are clinically accepted despite limited evidence defining the specific PROM needed to perform functional tasks. The objective of this investigation was to better define the minimum PROM needed for individuals with cervical SCI to achieve optimal functional ability, and as a secondary outcome gather self-reported standardized functional data via the Spinal Cord Independence Measure-III (SCIM-III), and the Spinal Cord Injury Functional Index (SCI-FI).

Design: Observational cohort.
