Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Shepherd Center Hospital, Atlanta, USA.
Gunshot wounds (GSWs) to any part of the body can leave a trail of insidious complications. When the spinal cord is the injured organ, these sequelae can be debilitating to the patient and often exhaust all known therapeutic approaches available to the providers. The management of pain associated with GSWs to the spine is often a clinical challenge and there is often a question as to whether or not surgical intervention can help with pain relief in these cases.

Article Synopsis
- The CUE-T and GRASSP assessments are designed to measure changes in upper extremity function in individuals with tetraplegia, focusing on responsiveness and minimal clinically important differences (MCID).
- The study involved 69 participants with tetraplegia, who were evaluated on their upper extremity function using both tests over a three-month period, alongside their personal impressions of change.
- Results showed that the CUE-T demonstrated greater sensitivity in detecting certain functional changes compared to the GRASSP, with CUE-T having higher standardized response means (SRMs) and larger MCIDs for acute subjects.
Endurance neuromuscular electrical stimulation training improves skeletal muscle oxidative capacity in individuals with motor-complete spinal cord injury.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in skeletal muscle atrophy, increases in intramuscular fat, and reductions in skeletal muscle oxidative capacity. Endurance training elicited with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may reverse these changes and lead to improvement in muscle metabolic health.
Methods: Fourteen participants with complete SCI performed 16 weeks of home-based endurance NMES training of knee extensor muscles.
