OBJECTIVES: Community reentry after a spinal cord injury is a long-term integrative process, because individuals must adjust to an extraordinary new set of circumstances. In this study, quality-of-life and work satisfaction variables associated with employed or unemployed individuals with spinal cord injury were examined. METHODS: Quality-of-life and work satisfaction variables associated with 109 employed or unemployed individuals with spinal cord injury were examined by using an employment satisfaction survey. RESULTS: Most of those employed indicated that they would either change jobs or some employment variable such as duties, supervisor, or hours worked. Participants who were not working attributed unemployment to an array of factors including ongoing health problems, lack of transportation, and impact of and/or lost disability benefits. Both groups offered feedback related to information provided to them by medical professionals about return-to-work resources. CONCLUSIONS: The following three themes emerged from this analysis: (1) more comprehensive provider training about spinal cord injury is needed; (2) increased communication between consumer and family would be beneficial; and (3) an increase in the flexibility and availability of services would help to ensure access to essential care. 相似文献

The aim of the study is to investigate the applicability of structured interviews for exploration of quality-of-life goals using an established instrument. Structured interviews were performed using WHOQOL-BREF and Disabilities Module as guideline with 35 clients admitted for first rehabilitation intervention after spinal cord injury. Although participants found some questions difficult to answer or psychologically stressful, most of them have appreciated the interviews' help considering their position in life at an early phase of rehabilitation. WHOQOL-BREF and Disabilities Module is an appropriate tool as an interview guideline for exploring quality-of-life goals. 相似文献

1. Measurement of blood pressure and heart rate over a 24 h period was performed in 10 quadriplegic spinal cord injury patients and 10 immobilized, neurologically intact orthopaedic subjects by using the Spacelabs 90207 automated ambulatory monitoring system. 2. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure fell significantly at night in orthopaedic subjects but not in quadriplegic patients, and night-time blood pressures were similar in both groups. 3. Cumulative summation of differences from a reference value (cusum analysis) confirmed a markedly diminished diurnal blood pressure variation in the quadriplegic patients. 4. These findings could not be accounted for on the basis of blood pressure variations during chronic postural change. 5. Heart rate fell significantly at night in both groups. 6. The findings suggest that the increase in blood pressure during waking hours in neurologically intact subjects is a consequence of a diurnal variation in sympathetic activity (absent in quadriplegic patients with sympathetic decentralization) which is independent of changes in physical activity. 相似文献

Traditionally, rehabilitation professionals have viewed and studied leisure participation in terms of quantifiable activities. Advances in leisure studies have, however, led to recognition of the need for and value of examining leisure as a subjective experience too. Accordingly, this study used a qualitative approach to explore postinjury leisure participation for individuals living with acquired spinal cord injury. A secondary analysis was performed for data from a primary study that examined social adaptation needs related to community living after rehabilitation. Participants who had completed their initial rehabilitation at least 3 years earlier took part in in-depth, personal interviews. The analysis identified specific leisure activities participants had done and/or are doing after spinal cord injury. It also provided insight into how and why these activities are being done and/or not being done. Major findings are illustrated by participants' personal verbatim quotes. Implications and recommendations for further research and professional practice in rehabilitation are outlined. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the GABA-agonist baclofen on cough reflex sensitivity in subjects with cervical spinal cord injury (C-SCI). Baclofen has been shown to inhibit the cough reflex in able-bodied volunteers. DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized control trial. SETTING: Veterans Affairs medical center with large outpatient SCI population. PARTICIPANTS: Twelve adult males (11 outpatients) with C-SCI chronically maintained on oral baclofen for the treatment of muscle spasm. INTERVENTION: Subjects underwent cough challenge testing with inhaled capsaicin. The concentrations (microM) of capsaicin inducing 2 or more (C2) and 5 or more (C5) coughs were determined. Mean values for log C2 and log C5 were compared with a control group of outpatients with C-SCI not receiving baclofen. RESULTS: Subjects treated with baclofen had a significantly higher cough threshold (diminished cough reflex sensitivity) than control subjects. Mean (+/- standard error of the mean) values for log C2 in study subjects and controls were 1.28 +/- .16 and .65 +/- .15, respectively (p = .009). Mean values for log C5 in subjects receiving baclofen and in control subjects were 2.20 +/- .22 and 1.43 +/- .23, respectively (p = .024). Subjects and controls did not differ in terms of age, spirometric parameters, or duration of injury. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that chronic therapy with baclofen diminishes cough reflex sensitivity in subjects with C-SCI. The clinical significance of this finding remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

BackgroundIndividuals with incomplete spinal cord injury often have decreased gait function and coactivation of antagonistic muscle pairs. Common ways of quantifying coactivation using electromyographic signals do not consider frequency information in the signal. As electromyographic signals from different motor unit types have different frequency components and muscle fiber type can change in individuals with spinal cord injury, it may be beneficial to consider frequency components. The aims were to demonstrate the utility of using a method which considers temporal and frequency components of the electromyographical signal to quantify coactivation in lower extremity muscles in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury through 1) comparison with able-bodied individuals and 2) comparison before and after body weight supported treadmill training.MethodsFrequency decomposition techniques were applied to electromyographical signals to consider the temporal and frequency components of the electromyographical signals to quantify coactivation over a range of frequencies.ResultsOur main findings show that correlation coefficients between total EMG intensities of rectus femoris-biceps femoris and medial gastrocnemius-tibialis anterior were significantly different between able-bodied individuals and those with incomplete spinal cord injury (p = 0006, p = 0.01). The correlation spectra of medial gastrocnemius-tibialis anterior of the spinal cord injury group were substantially different than those the able-bodied group, while the EMG normalcy score was significantly different (p = 0.002). We also found that there was a change in coactivation of ankle muscles after body weight supported treadmill training.InterpretationOur findings indicate that there may be frequency specific differences in muscle coactivation between able-bodied individuals and those with incomplete spinal cord injury. Changes in coactivation were also observed before and after body weight supported treadmill training. These differences may reflect the changes in recruitment patterns of different motor unit types. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To measure the acquisition, use and satisfaction with high technology equipment by spinal cord injured tetraplegic subjects. DESIGN AND SETTING: A questionnaire was mailed to 102 tetraplegic subjects who were hospitalised in the rehabilitation center of Kerpape (Ploemeur, France) between 1998 and 2004, and 59 subjects responded. The questionnaire asked about the use of telephones, computers, wheelchairs and environmental controls at home. RESULTS: When a piece of equipment was acquired, it was very often used. Patient satisfaction with equipment was 79.3%. Home phones and mobile phones were often used with options such as hands-free devices (78 and 59% respectively). A total of 64.4% of subjects acquired a manual wheelchair and 61% a power wheelchair. The most commonly acquired options on the power wheelchairs were the powered recline (73,7%) and tilt (71,1%) systems. All options were used but all were more desired than acquired. A total of 27.1% of subjects desired a pushrim-activated power-assist wheelchair, but only 15.3% had acquired one; 695% of subjects had a computer. Communication was the first use for the computer (82.5%); 49.2% of subjects had acquired an environmental control system, but 20% desired one. The first reason for lack of acquisition was financial difficulties but also accessibility and information problems. The factor that influenced the acquisition and need for equipment was the degree of spinal cord injury. No other factor reduced patient satisfaction with equipment. CONCLUSION: Patients were satisfied with the equipment they acquired. But their needs, especially wheelchair options and environmental control systems, were not satisfied. 相似文献

We compared the effects of different lumbar support thicknesses on seated buttock pressure in individuals with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). Eighteen subjects with SCI (SCI group) and 18 subjects without SCI (control group) were seated on a pressure-sensing transducer incorporated into an adjustable chair. The output was calibrated so that eight pressure intervals (colors) were displayed. The lumbar support thickness was adjusted to 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 cm, and the highest and lowest seated buttock pressures were analyzed. External measurements of the hip angle were taken for each lumbar support condition. High reliability of repeated seated test positions was found (intraclass correlation coefficient = .93). The 5- and 7.5-cm-thick lumbar supports caused a decrease in the highest pressure areas in the control group, but no change in the SCI group. The hip angle was increased with each increment in lumbar support thickness in both groups, but the SCI group's hip angle was consistently less than that of the control group for each lumbar support condition. The results of this study suggest that in individuals with chronic paralysis (greater than or equal to 3 years), the use of a wheelchair lumbar support has a negligible effect on seated buttock pressure. 相似文献
