Factors associated with perceived social isolation among veterans with spinal cord injury and disorders: Cross sectional survey
CONCLUSIONS: Factors such as social network size may be used to identify individuals with SCI/D at risk for PSI. Additionally, by identifying mental health problems, presence of multiple chronically occurring secondary conditions, and Veteran-identified contributors of PSI, we can target these factors in a patient-centered interventions to identify and reduce PSI.PMID:38315055 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2299500 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Effects of robotic therapy associated with noninvasive brain stimulation on motor function in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSIONS: Combined robotic training and NIBS may be safe for individuals with incomplete SCI. The existing evidence concerning its effects on motor outcomes in individuals with SCI is limited. Further experimental studies are needed to understand the effects of combined robotic training and NIBS on motor impairments in SCI populations.PMID:38265422 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2304921 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Do individuals from an SCI-specialized rehabilitation facility have fewer secondary health conditions than those from a non-SCI-specialized rehabilitation facility? Analysis of the InSCI database from a middle-income country
CONCLUSION: Attending an SSRF was significantly associated with having fewer SHCs, specifically, bladder dysfunctions, sexual dysfunctions, and pressure ulcers. These results suggest the importance of having SSRF in middle-income countries for delivering effective care to people with SCI and standardized education to health care providers.PMID:38251980 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2289690 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Epidemiology of spinal cord injury and spinal cord injury-induced urinary tract stones in Taiwan: A 2005-2015 population-based cohort study
CONCLUSION: The risk of UTS among patients with SCI is influenced by age, sex, injury site, and paraplegia but not by paralysis resulting from other neurological deficits. Even though SCI incidence is declining annually, severe SCI remains a significant issue. Therefore, continuing to reduce SCI incidence and strengthening urinary tract management in patients with SCI are essential for reducing UTS occurrence and their impact on health.PMID:38240661 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2293326 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Benefits and barriers to return to education and relationship to quality of life for people living with spinal cord injury: Results of a mixed methods study
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlighted common barriers and facilitators to RTE, and potential areas of intervention. VRF is a potentially efficacious early intervention vocational rehabilitation approach that improves participation in education and employment for people with SCI. People who received VRF and achieved RTE may have better QOL outcomes and improved employability.PMID:38240674 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2294520 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
