Return to work post spinal cord injury through a comprehensive rehabilitative program: A case series
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that a comprehensive vocational rehabilitation program can be effective in facilitating individuals with SCI to gain greater functional independence and confidently pursue employment. Further studies are crucial to advance the knowledge required to implement a successful rehabilitative program.PMID:37975760 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2265099 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Adherence and perceptions of a home sports video gaming program in persons with spinal cord injuries: A pilot study
CONCLUSION: The Wii sports home video-gaming intervention elicited overall high adherence rates and was well received by study participants indicating that it may have value as an adjunctive tool for increasing physical activity for individuals with SCI.PMID:37975789 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2268328 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Knowledge and awareness assessment of bone loss and fracture risk after spinal cord injury
CONCLUSIONS: While results suggest that most participants received some information regarding bone health in post-SCI care, over 70% of participants reported wanting more information about bone loss prevention and treatment, indicating bone health education is a patient priority in this population.PMID:37975790 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2254445 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Protective effect of valproic acid on ischemia-reperfusion induced spinal cord injury in a rat model
CONCLUSIONS: Comparative analyses between prophylactic VPA administration and post-IR interventions revealed congruence in their anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic ramifications. VPA can reduce spinal cord IR injury in an aortic occlusion model of rats.PMID:37975793 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2257854 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Gait training using a wearable robotic hip device for incomplete spinal cord injury: A preliminary study
CONCLUSIONS: Gait speed in patients with SCI increased after rehabilitation, including RAGT, in the short-term. This increase was associated with improved muscle function in hip flexion at the start of RAGT.Trial Registration: This study was registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR; UMIN000042025).PMID:37934493 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2273587 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
