Real-time Virtual Reality Sailing Simulator for Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation: A Clinical Training Study

A clinical trial evaluated whether virtual reality sailing simulation (VSail®) could enable people with spinal cord injuries to safely learn sailing techniques and subsequently sail competently in real-world conditions. Thirteen participants with varying SCI levels completed training and demonstrated improved sailing proficiency and navigation skills, with physical and well-being assessments conducted at baseline and follow-up intervals.

Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Among Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

This study examined metabolic syndrome prevalence in 100 spinal cord injury patients, finding that 42% met diagnostic criteria, with significantly higher rates in paraplegic versus tetraplegic patients. Disease duration, gender differences, and functional independence measures were associated with metabolic syndrome presence.

Nutritional Status, Body Composition and Cardiometabolic Profile in Individuals with Tetraplegia: A Pilot Cross-Sectional Study

This pilot study examined body composition, dietary patterns, and metabolic markers in 11 adults with chronic tetraplegia, finding elevated body fat despite normal BMI and dietary imbalances (excessive lipids, suboptimal protein). Cross-domain analyses revealed associations between macronutrient intake and metabolic markers, with higher protein intake inversely correlated with triglyceride levels.

Upper Limb Function Improvement in Tetraplegia Using Gravity-Balanced Exoskeleton Robot Training

A preliminary study evaluated gravity-balanced exoskeleton robot training for patients with tetraplegia, showing significant improvements in shoulder and elbow muscle strength and range of motion over six training sessions. While functional task performance improvements were observed, they were not statistically significant, suggesting the device shows promise for motor recovery despite limitations in translating to daily activities.

Shoulder pain prevalence and pain-relief strategies in individuals with spinal cord injury: A cross-sectional questionnaire study

This cross-sectional study of 100 individuals with chronic spinal cord injury found shoulder pain prevalence of 34% in the past week, with higher rates in tetraplegia patients and more bilateral pain in wheelchair users. Non-pharmacological treatments such as exercise, massage, and TENS were commonly used, while pharmacological interventions were relatively uncommon among this population.
