Exercise Recommendations and Considerations for Persons With Spinal Cord Injury.
Increasing activity and exercise is essential for health and quality of life for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are 2 to 4 times higher for people with SCI compared to the general population. This is due, in part, to low levels of activity, limited access and opportunities to participate in exercise, as well as changes in muscle and he...
متن کاملPerceptions of participation and predictors of perceived problems with participation in persons with spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE To describe how persons with spinal cord injury perceived their participation in life situations and to determine the relationship between their participation and perceived problems therewith. The purpose was also to evaluate the influence of age, sex, level of injury, time since injury, marital status and access to social support on perceived problems with participation. DESIGN Cro...
متن کاملStep Activity Monitor: accuracy and test-retest reliability in persons with incomplete spinal cord injury.
Recovery of walking after incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) is a common focus of rehabilitation, but few measurement tools capture walking performance outside the clinic or laboratory. This study determined the accuracy and test-retest reliability of the Step Activity Monitor (SAM), a microprocessor-driven accelerometer that measures walking activity. We evaluated 11 individuals with iSCI du...
متن کاملGait characteristics of persons with incomplete spinal cord injury in shallow water.
OBJECTIVE To describe the kinematic gait characteristics of individuals with incomplete chronic spinal cord injury in a water environment and to compare these characteristics with those of healthy individuals. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Nineteen adults divided into 2 groups: individuals (n = 9) with incomplete chronic spinal cord injury (> 1 year), American Spinal Injury Associa...
متن کاملNeuromuscular constraints on muscle coordination during overground walking in persons with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE Incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) disrupts motor control and limits the ability to coordinate muscles for overground walking. Inappropriate muscle activity has been proposed as a source of clinically observed walking deficits after iSCI. We hypothesized that persons with iSCI exhibit lower locomotor complexity compared to able-body (AB) controls as reflected by fewer motor modules,...
