Rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injury aims to prepare them to function in society in the best possible manner. One of the significant tasks of rehabilitation is to develop the skill of moving in a wheelchair, which becomes the only means of locomotion for most people.

Abstract:
Neuro mechanical time delay is inevitable in the sensorimotor control of the body due to sensory, transmission, signal processing and muscle activation delays. In essence, time delay reduces stabilization efficiency, leading to system instability (e.g., falls). For this reason, estimation of time delay in patients such as people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) can help therapists and biomechanics to design more appropriate exercise or assistive technologies in the rehabilitation procedure.

Abstract:
Purpose: To determine the discrepancy between the types of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) people with spinal cord injury (SCI) desire and the types of LTPA available. A secondary objective was to determine the relationship between this discrepancy in desired and available LTPA and participants' thoughts and feelings towards LTPA. Methods: Questionnaires were completed during a telephone interview. People with SCI (n=259; 75% male, 63% quadriplegic) reported their current LTPA and were classified as active or inactive. The most desired LTPA and its availability was reported. Participants' thoughts and feelings toward LTPA were measured. Results: The most desired LTPA were sports and swimming. Only 54% stated their desired LTPA was available with no difference in availability between active and inactive people. This suggests it is possible to be active when ideal activities are unavailable. However, among inactive people attitudes, intentions and self-efficacy were higher among those who believed the desired LTPA was available versus those who did not (p&amp;lt;.05). Conclusion: Among inactive individuals, increasing LTPA availability may positively influence thoughts and feelings toward LTPA. LTPA initiatives should focus on improving the availability of desired PA such as sports and swimming. Inactive individuals with access to desired PA must be encouraged to participate.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the construct and divergent validity of the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD) in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). The construct validity was examined by relationships between PASIPD and measures of fitness (peak oxygen uptake, peak power output, muscular strength) and activities (wheelchair skills, Utrecht Activity List, mobility range and social behaviour subscales of the SIP68) in 139 persons with SCI 1 year after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. Divergent validity was determined by comparing PASIPD scores of people with different personal (age, gender, body mass index) and lesion characteristics (paraplegia/tetraplegia, completeness, time since injury). PASIPD scores showed low correlations with fitness parameters (0.25-0.36, p&amp;lt;0.05) and low to moderate correlations with activities (0.36-0.51, p&amp;lt;0.01). Persons with a tetraplegia or longer time since injury had significantly lower PASIPD scores compared to those with a paraplegia (p&amp;lt;0.02; effect size: 0.17) or those with a short time since injury (p&amp;lt;0.03; effect size: 0.30). It can be concluded that the PASIPD showed weak to moderate relationships with fitness and activity parameters. This construct validity is comparable to self-report questionnaires from the general population. The divergent validity of the PASIPD was low. Therefore, the PASIPD should be used with caution in persons with SCI.

Abstract:
Spinal cord rehabilitation is a complex and consuming pathology, requiring the skillsets of numerous experts to ensure optimal treatment. To this end, the expertise of an exercise therapist (biokineticist) can play a significant role in health maintenance, as well as in the prevention of the co-morbidities often experienced by this population (elevated risk for metabolic syndrome and coronary heart disease associated with SCI), positively improving patients’ overall quality of life. Biokinetics can furthermore help to lower cardiometabolic risks through the prescription of individualized exercise programs and by working in conjunction with other members of the patients’ health team. Physically active spinal cord injured individuals who use their wheelchairs as an exercise machine can benefit from the expertise of a biokineticist as far as these physically active spinal cord injured individuals often experience upper limb neuro-musculoskeletal overuse injuries. In so far as biokineticists are final-phase rehabilitation exercise therapists who prescribe structured physical activity to improve the physical and physiological conditioning of the patient, they are similar to other exercise therapists, such kinesiotherapists, physical therapists, or physiotherapists, and function within a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team to improve the quality of life of a spinal cord injured individual.

Abstract:
Purpose: To assess change over time in physical activity level (PAL) after spinal cord injury (SCI), to explore its determinants, and to compare PAL 1 year after discharge from the rehabilitation center with able-bodied level. Methods: PAL, as indicated by duration of dynamic activities per day and intensity of everyday activity, was measured in 40 persons with SCI with an accelerometry-based activity monitor during 2 consecutive weekdays. Measurements were obtained at start of active rehabilitation, 3 months later, at discharge, 2 months after discharge, and 1 year after discharge. Results: Random coefficient analyses demonstrated that duration of dynamic activities and intensity of everyday activity increased during inpatient rehabilitation at rates of 41% and 19%, respectively (P&amp;lt;.01). Shortly after discharge, there was a strong decline (33%; P&amp;lt;.001) in duration of dynamic activities. One year after discharge, this decline was restored to discharge level, but was low in comparison with able-bodied level. Level and completeness of lesion were determinants of change in PAL after discharge. Conclusion: PAL increased during inpatient rehabilitation, but this increase did not continue after discharge and level 1 year after discharge was distinctly lower than able-bodied level. Subpopulations had a different change over time in PAL after discharge.

Abstract:
Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) have a profound physical, social and emotional cost to patients and their families. Obviously SCIs severely disrupt normal patterns of interaction with the environment. Firstly, the opportunities for active interaction are inevitably diminished due to motor or sensory impairment. Moreover, such problems may increase as the time since injury lengthens and the patient becomes more withdrawn and isolated in all spheres of activity. However, advances in Information Technology are providing new opportunities for rehabilitation technology. These advances are helping people to overcome the physical limitations affecting their mobility or their ability to hear, see or speak.

Abstract:
Neurological rehabilitation aims to help people regain functional independence from physical and cognitive disabilities caused by neurological injuries or diseases, improving their participation in the society and quality of life. Among older patients, the more common need for neurological rehabilitation arises from acute stroke, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord damage. There has been a recent paradigm shift in the approach of neurological rehabilitation towards promoting neural reorganization, restructure and modification of brain activity patterns (neuroplasticity). Stroke patients benefit from organized interdisciplinary care within a comprehensive stroke unit, followed by early supported discharge in the community. Early intensive therapy and prevention of complications such as infections are the key components of acute neurological rehabilitation. In the post-acute period, a problem-oriented approach using evidence-based strategies can enhance neuroplasticity and patient outcome. Special attention is needed for traumatic brain injury and spinal injury, younger patients, and those with neurocognitive dysfunction.

Abstract:
To estimate the potential for systematically promoting physical activity (PA) in the spinal cord injury (SCI) population, we examined the capacity of community organizations in a large Canadian province to implement PA promotion initiatives. Representatives from 23 community PA (n=7), sports (n=8) and advocacy (n=8) organizations for people with disabilities completed a community capacity questionnaire and a follow-up telephone interview. Organizations' strategic priorities and available resources for promoting PA were obtained. Descriptive statistics for questionnaire data and recurring themes from participants' interview responses were analyzed. While 96% of organizations valued PA, only 65% had a strategic priority to promote PA. The majority (&amp;gt;73%) were willing to integrate PA promotion into current services (e.g., peer support programs) or link with other organizations already promoting PA (e.g., post a website ad). However, their capacity was limited; 40% indicated needing resources to foster PA promotion. Capacity building at multiple levels is needed for successful dissemination of evidence-based PA promotion initiatives for people with SCI.

Abstract:
Abstract The exercise methods available to individuals with spinal cord injuries are limited, increasing their risk of pressure sores, muscle atrophy, diminished bone strength, and diminished blood flow efficiency. The FES Energy Storing Exoskeleton combines the simplicity of a passive exoskeleton with functional electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscles, enabling the user to stand and walk using their own muscles. To reduce muscle fatigue, the initial energy supplied by FES is supplemented by gas springs for energy storage and bidirectional clutch mechanisms for joint locking and contr

Abstract:
A person with tetraplegia has lost the ability to willfully control his/her arms and legs, usually due to a severe spinal cord injury. Existing technologies using head motion or puffs of breath to control device movement promise increased mobility and the possibility of expanding recreational activities in a variety of forms to this population. Lack of access to rehabilitative services and engaging recreational activity fosters inactivity. This often creates an environment that causes individuals with physical disabilities to experience reduced function and mobility beyond the cause of their d

Abstract:
Background: Health is only one dimension of quality of life, and quality of life is more than health status, clinical symptoms, or functional ability, however it might be challenging to distinguish between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and both health and quality of life (QoL). Methods and Objectives: This study aims to identify dimensional measurement accuracy to health, quality of life and health related quality of life, and the focus of studies related to these terms. The PubMed database was searched for studies related to the terms 'dimensional measurement accuracy', 'health', 'qu

Abstract:
Abstract Persons with thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI), also named as people with paraplegia (PA), are encouraged to participate in sport activities for sake of improving their quality of life and health. Yet, heat strain is a major consequence of SCI after which the body loses its ability to regulate its temperature. Disruption in body temperature regulation and instability in core temperature (Tcr) endangers the patient health especially when subjected to extreme ambient conditions or high level of physical activity. Since thermophysiology is disrupted after SCI, using conventional personal

Objectives. Although the health benefits of physical activity are well described for the general population, less is known about the benefits and harms of physical activity in people dependent upon, partially dependent upon, or at risk for needing a wheelchair. This systematic review summarizes the evidence for physical activity in people with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury regardless of current use or nonuse of a wheelchair.
