This epidemiological analysis of 435 cases (2013-2022) found that strike-induced spinal cord injury predominantly affects young and middle-aged males (11.8:1 ratio) in manual labor occupations, with 89.4% occurring in workplace settings like construction and mining. The study emphasizes the need for enhanced workplace safety education to reduce these preventable injuries.
A cross-sectional survey of 90 adults with traumatic spinal cord injury in Kenya found high prevalence of activity limitations (e.g., 90% difficulty with public transportation, 83% unable to stand unsupported) and participation restrictions, with significant environmental barriers including inadequate finances and inaccessible public infrastructure. Individuals with tetraplegia experienced greater functional limitations than those with paraplegia, highlighting the need for comprehensive rehabilitation and environmental modifications.
This retrospective study compared three cardiovascular risk calculators (Framingham Risk Score, American Heart Association, and Metabolic Syndrome Severity Score) in 194 veterans with spinal cord injury to evaluate agreement between risk assessment methods. Results showed moderate agreement between FRS and AHA scores but poor agreement with MSSS, with significant variation in risk classification across tools, suggesting caution in interpreting CVD risk predictions in SCI populations.
This matched case-control study evaluated aquatic therapy (using Halliwick concept) versus conventional rehabilitation in spinal cord injury patients, measuring independence in activities of daily living and functional ambulation using standardized instruments (FIM, SCIM-III, WISCI-II). Both groups received equivalent total rehabilitation hours at the same specialized center, with rigorous matching for age, injury characteristics, and baseline function to isolate aquatic therapy effects.
This qualitative study analyzed psychotherapy notes from 22 individuals with spinal cord injury during the subacute phase to identify and categorize their primary concerns and stressors using thematic analysis. Participants received 10 sessions of telehealth cognitive-behavioral therapy over 12 weeks, with documented concerns organized according to socioecological frameworks including intrapersonal, interpersonal, and systemic levels.
