Development and validation of a risk nomogram to estimate risk of hyponatremia after spinal cord injury: A retrospective single-center study
CONCLUSIONS: Nomogram has good predictive ability, sex, completeness of SCI, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, fever, constipation, WBC, albumin and serum Ca2+ were predictors of hyponatremia after SCI.PMID:38656250 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2329437 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

A systematic review of validity and reliability assessment of measuring balance and walking at the level of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in people with spinal cord injury
CONCLUSIONS: One consideration for testing people with disabilities is to observe the reliability and validity of the instrument, which was addressed in this study in various fields. In our study, seven tools for assessing SCI were evaluated, and it was found that the 10-meter walk (10MWT) tool performs better and more easily than other tools. The Mini-BESTest tool was suggested as a reliable tool for assessing standing balance in SCI subjects.PMID:38652087 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2335413 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Low-frequency electrically induced exercise after spinal cord injury: Physiologic challenge to skeletal muscle and feasibility for long-term use
CONCLUSION: The 3 Hz stimulation offered the greatest physiological challenge and was perceived as more acceptable for long term use among people with SCI.PMID:38619192 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2338295 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Trends in the characteristics and outcomes of older patients with non-traumatic spinal cord injury treated in inpatient rehabilitation facilities: 2013-2018
CONCLUSIONS: Between 2013 and 2018, the number of Medicare patients with NTSCI treated in IRFs increased by more than 22 percent. While patient complexity increased, the median length of stay remained 12 days across the years. Discharge self-care and mobility function increased slightly, and the percent of patients discharged home ranged from 73.7 to 75.2 across the years.PMID:38588027 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2335414 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

The Perfect Step is the first one: Improving the quality of life for patients with spinal cord injuries through structured exercise
CONCLUSION/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Patients with SCI engaging in a structured exercise program demonstrated sustainable, longitudinal improvements in mood, pain control, independence, and fewer impairments related to bladder function and pressure ulcers. Physicians should consider the integration of structured exercise into the rehabilitation program alongside traditional medical care to optimize the quality of life for those with SCI. Future research should involve a direct comparison of QoL in patients with SCI participating in structured exercise versus those who are not.PMID:38588028 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2336276 (So...
