Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) causes an insult to the central nervous system, often resulting in devastating temporary or permanent neurological impairment and disability, which places a substantial financial burden on health-care system. This study aimed clarify up-to-date epidemiology demographics of patients with TSCI treated at largest SCI center Japan. Data all admitted Spinal Injuries Center between May 2005 December 2021 were prospectively collected using customized, locally...
Swallowing dysfunction, which may cause aspiration pneumonia, is one of the most important complications treatment traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI); however, mechanism dysphagia not well understood. No previous studies have reported association between morphological changes soft tissue and dysphagia. We aimed to determine factors associated with severity after CSCI elucidate its mechanism. conducted a prospective analysis patients acute who were admitted within 2 weeks injury....
Spasticity—defined as involuntary movements caused by insult to upper motor neurons after spinal cord injury (SCI)—interferes with patients' activities of daily living. Spasticity is generally identified and managed in the chronic phase SCI, but few reports have examined onset spasticity injury. The purpose this study elucidate serial changes SCI clarify timing severe spasticity. We prospectively individuals acute traumatic admitted within two weeks Severity was evaluated using Modified...
Objectives We evaluated the time course of American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale (AIS) for up to three months in participants within 72 h after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) with complete paralysis. aimed determine most useful sacral-sparing examination (deep anal pressure [DAP], voluntary contraction [VAC], S4-5 light touch [LT], or pin prick [PP] sensation) determining AIS grades.
This study aimed to investigate how width affects the design evaluation of sliding boards with a new shape. Ten caregivers at senior facility evaluated five types every two weeks. The shape board received high ratings as increased, SUS (System Usability Scale) score 68.5 points (95% CI 60.6–76.4). Compared traditional rectangular board, which had 250 mm and thickness 5 mm, (with central 163 8 mm) higher by 0.68 0.31–1.05)using paired comparison method. results quantitative on usability from...
