Compared with maximal exercise testing, submaximal testing appears to have greater applicability physical therapists in their role as clinical specialists. This review contrasts and testing. Two major categories of tests (ie, predictive performance tests) relative merits are described. Predictive that used predict aerobic capacity. Performance involve measuring the responses standardized activities typically encountered everyday life. To maximize validity reliability data obtained from...
To describe the process and outcomes of using a new evidence base to develop scientific guidelines that specify type minimum dose exercise necessary improve fitness cardiometabolic health in adults with spinal cord injury (SCI).International.Using Appraisal Guidelines, Research Evaluation (AGREE) II reporting criteria, steps included (a) determining guidelines' scope; (b) conducting systematic review relevant literature; (c) holding three consensus panel meetings (European, Canadian...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Despite decades of research, there are no national estimates the incidence or prevalence spinal cord injury (SCI) in Canada. Our objective was to utilize best available data estimate and traumatic SCI (TSCI) non-traumatic (NTSCI) Canada for 2010. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Initial (number TSCIs at scene) discharge discharged into community) were calculated using published TSCI rates from Alberta NTSCI Australia. Prevalence...
To evaluate the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and spinal cord injury (SCI) in a large representative sample.Data were compiled from more than 60,000 individuals 2010 cycle of cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine this relationship, adjusting for confounders using probability weighting account CCHS sampling method.After age sex, SCI associated with significant increased odds heart...
To determine the influence of time from injury to surgery on neurological recovery and length stay (LOS) in an observational cohort individuals with traumatic spinal cord (tSCI), we analyzed baseline follow-up motor scores participants Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry specifically assess effect early (less than 24 h injury) surgical procedure LOS. One thousand four hundred ten patients who sustained acute tSCIs American Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grades A, B, C, or D were...
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective observational study utilizing prospectively collected population-based data. Objective. To describe the epidemiology and demographics of all patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) treated at a single institution, which represents sole referral center specialized SCI unit for population 4 million people. Summary Background Data. Although many studies report on TSCI, in are characterized acute setting precise recording their baseline neurological...
Objective-To compare psychometric functioning of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Modified Impact (MFIS) in a community sample persons with multiple sclerosis (MS).Research Method-A self-report survey including FSS, MFIS, demographic other health measures was completed by 1271 individuals MS.Analyses evaluated reliability validity scales, assessed their dimensional structures, estimated levels floor ceiling effects.Item response theory (IRT) used to evaluate precision MFIS FSS at...
In prior analyses of the effectiveness methylprednisolone for treatment patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCIs), prognostic importance patients' neurological levels injury and their baseline severity impairment has not been considered. Our objective was to determine whether improved motor recovery among participants in Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry (RHSCIR). We identified RHSCIR who received according Second National Study (NASCIS-II) protocol used propensity...
Neurologic impairment after spinal cord injury (SCI) is currently measured and classified by functional examination. Biological markers that objectively classify severity predict outcome would greatly facilitate efforts to evaluate acute SCI therapies. The purpose of this study was determine how well inflammatory structural proteins within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) traumatic patients predicted American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade conversion motor score...
<h3>Objective:</h3> The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between spinal cord injury (SCI) and type 2 diabetes in a large representative sample determine whether an exists irrespective known risk factors for diabetes. <h3>Methods:</h3> Data were obtained on 60,678 respondents Statistics Canada 2010 Cycle cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey. Multivariable logistic regression, incorporating adjustment confounders probability weights account Survey sampling...
To analyze relations among injury, demographic, and environmental factors on function, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), satisfaction in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).Prospective observational registry cohort study.Specialized acute rehabilitation SCI centers.Participants (N=340) from the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry (RHSCIR) who were prospectively recruited 2004 to 2014 included. The model participants 79.1% men, a mean age 41.6±17.3 years. Of...
Biomarkers of acute human spinal cord injury (SCI) could provide a more objective measure damage and better predictor neurological outcome than current standardized assessments. In SCI, there is growing interest in establishing biomarkers from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, we compared the ability CSF MRI to classify severity predict recovery cohort cervical SCI patients. samples scans 36 patients were examined. From taken 24 h post-injury, concentrations...
