Institut Guttmann Neurorehabilitation Hospital, University Institute Attached to the Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08916 Badalona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Physical activity offers significant health benefits for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), highlighting the need for tailored PA interventions.
- A study reviewed nine questionnaires used to measure PA in SCI populations, focusing on their development specific to SCI, the types of PA measured, and their reliability and validity.
- The PARA-SCI and LTPAQ-SCI[R] were identified as the most appropriate tools for PA research in this demographic, and the review discusses their strengths, limitations, and recommendations for use in research and interventions.

Objective: (1) To assess prevalence and severity of socio-ecological barriers to leisure time physical activity (LTPA) in a sample of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI); (2) to examine the association of these barriers with sociodemographic characteristics and functional independence (FI); and (3) to explore which socio-ecological levels of barriers might be associated with LTPA.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Neurorehabilitation Hospital specialized in SCI.
Background: Low rates of participation and quality of life (QoL) and high rates of psychological distress are common in spinal cord injury (SCI) population. Research has supported the mediating role of self-efficacy and functionality in improving psychosocial outcomes. Furthermore, evidence supports the impact of physical activity (PA) on psychosocial variables, but little is known about the types and intensities of PA.

We stratified 213 patients with traumatic brain injury according to their time to rehabilitation admission in three groups (0-30 days, 31-60 and 61-90) in order to (1) compare total Functional Independence Measure efficiency and effectiveness between groups; (2) analyze time to admission as predictor of TFIM at discharge. After adjusting for age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Disability Rating Scale (DRS) and sex, 0-30 had the highest TFIM efficiency compared with 31-60 (P < 0.001) and 61-90 (P < 0.
