Prognostication may improve treatment strategies, health care resource allocation, and counseling. Multivariable clinical prediction models (CPMs) for prognosis are tools that can estimate an absolute risk or probability that an outcome will occur. Objectives We sought to systematically review the existing literature on CPMs for TSCI and critically examine the predictor selection methods used. Methods We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and IEEE for English peer-reviewed studies and relevant references that developed multivariable CPMs to prognosticate patient-centered outcomes in adults with TSCI. Using narrative synthesis, we summarized the characteristics of the included studies and their CPMs, focusing on the predictor selection process. Results We screened 663 titles and abstracts; of these, 21 full-text studies (2009-2020) consisting of 33 distinct CPMs were included. The data analysis domain was most commonly at a high risk of bias when assessed for methodological quality. Model presentation formats were inconsistently included with published CPMs; only two studies followed established guidelines for transparent reporting of multivariable prediction models. Authors frequently cited previous literature for their initial selection of predictors, and stepwise selection was the most frequent predictor selection method during modelling. Conclusion Prediction modelling studies for TSCI serve clinicians who counsel patients, researchers aiming to risk-stratify participants for clinical trials, and patients coping with their injury. Poor methodological rigor in data analysis, inconsistent transparent reporting, and a lack of model presentation formats are vital areas for improvement in TSCI CPM research.","PeriodicalId":46769,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135471529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and summarize what is reported in the literature on medication self-management interventions for adults with traumatic SCI. Articles were searched on electronic databases and grey literature. For inclusion, articles were required to include an adult population with a traumatic SCI and an intervention targeting medication management. They had to incorporate a component of self-management. Articles were independently screened and data were extracted and synthesized using descriptive approaches. Three studies were included in this scoping review. Interventions included a mobile app and two education-based interventions to address self-management of SCI, medication management, and pain management. None of the identified interventions addressed medication self-management comprehensively. Learning outcomes (perceived knowledge and confidence), behavioural outcomes (management strategies, data entry), and clinical outcomes (number of medications, pain scores, functional outcomes) were evaluated. Results of the interventions varied, but some positive outcomes were noted, with improvements in perceived knowledge and confidence and a reduction in the use of multiple pain medications. Overall, there are limited interventions targeting medication self-management for persons with SCI. There is an opportunity better support this population through the co-design and implementation of an intervention that comprehensively addresses self-management.","PeriodicalId":46769,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to understand and compare multi-group perspectives on the challenges that hinder implementation of ABT in Canada for people living with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D). Individuals from six key interest groups (i.e., researchers; persons living with SCI/D; administrators; physical and occupational therapists; community-based exercise trainers; and funders, advocates, and policy experts) who had knowledge of and/or experience with ABT were recruited to participate in focus group interviews that were held over web conferencing. Participants were asked about the barriers and facilitators to practicing ABT. Interview transcripts were analyzed using conventional content analysis followed by a comparative analysis across groups. Forty-eight individuals participated in interviews lasting 30-80 minutes. Six themes were identified: 1) Challenge of defining ABT and addressing gaps in knowledge/training. 2) Challenge of standardizing ABT. 3) Challenge of determining the optimal timing of ABT. 4) Challenge of defining, characterizing and achieving high dosage and intensity. 5) Challenge of funding ABT. 6) Challenge of measuring participation and performance in ABT. While all groups acknowledged these six challenges, therapists and community trainers viewed knowledge/training gaps and achieving high dosage and intensity as key challenges. Researchers and advocates emphasized funding as a key challenge. Participants highlighted the challenges that limit adoption of ABT into practice within hospital and community settings. Future research should explore avenues to address these challenges to support successful implementation of ABT in Canada.","PeriodicalId":46769,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, we have designed a 2-part consultation targeted at identified barriers for adherence to an anti-inflammatory diet in this population. This study aimed to determine the effects of the consultation on self-efficacy for adhering to an anti-inflammatory diet, as well as adherence and health outcomes one month post-intervention. Eleven individuals (10 female, age 51.5±12.6 years) with neurological disability (7 multiple sclerosis, 3 spinal cord injury, 1 muscular dystrophy; 20.5±10.6 years post-injury/diagnosis) participated. The intervention group (n=7) received recipes for an anti-inflammatory diet and the 2-part consultation, while controls (n=4) received the recipes only. The consultation consisted of a home-visit that included cooking and accessible kitchen equipment demonstrations, and an accompanied trip to the grocery store. Both task and barrier self-efficacy improved immediately following the consultation and tended to stay above baseline one month post-intervention. The consultation was also associated with increased dietary adherence one month post-intervention and decreased depressive symptoms as measured by the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Changes in dietary adherence (r=-0.61; p=0.045), and barrier self-efficacy (r=-0.77; p=0.009) were negatively correlated to changes in CES-D scores. A consultation targeted at barriers related to anti-inflammatory eating can improve self-efficacy for adherence as well as actual adherence and depressive symptomology one month later. Further follow-up studies to determine the persistence of these effects are warranted.","PeriodicalId":46769,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139344131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have focused on analyzing quantitative aspects of hand usage, but there has yet to be a study that uses deep neural networks to assess the quality of hand usage from egocentric video. To train a deep neural network to predict hand function assessment scores from egocentric video. The dataset used contained egocentric videos of ADLs performed by 17 participants with AIS grades from A-D in a home simulation laboratory. Tasks were annotated with scores adapted from the Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP). The annotated video was then used to train and validate a SlowFast neural network to predict GRASSP scores, using leave-one-subject-out cross validation. Model performance was evaluated by mean absolute error, accuracy, and F1 score. The model was optimized with a hyperparameter sweep. The top performing model demonstrated a mean absolute error of 0.52±0.19, an accuracy of 0.55±0.14, and F1 score of 0.55±0.16, on an ordinal scale from 1 to 5.

Mainstream technology options, such as virtual reality (VR), have the potential to facilitate needed exercise participation. However, further research on VR exercise modalities is needed to determine feasibility, effectiveness and to ultimately guide practice recommendations. The goal of this pilot feasibility study was to determine whether VR exergaming is non-inferior to the current standard of care (SoC) upper extremity aerobic exercise for individuals with SCI/D. 25 participants with SCI/D completed 10-minute exercise sessions with either VR or the SoC, and after a rest break, then completed 10 minutes of exercise with the other modality. Primary outcomes of heart rate (HR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were collected at baseline, 5 minutes into exercise, and at 10 min (end of the exercise session) for each modality. Secondary exploratory measures included a Numeric Pain Rating Scale measured pre- and post- each exercise session, and a post-study likeability survey. There were no significant differences in HR or RPE between virtual reality exergaming and the standard of care, and 100% of participants preferred the VR over SoC for the exercise. VR exergaming was non-inferior to the SoC for short duration upper extremity exercise in those with SCI/D. Implementing VR for patients with SCI/D should be studied further to observe the longer term effect on cardiovascular health and to determine feasibility and compliance for home use.","PeriodicalId":46769,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139346193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compared spinally evoked motor potentials in UL muscles during TSS delivered to the cervical spinal cord between the spinous process of C3-C4 and C7-T1 vertebrae. As expected, TSS delivered over the cervical spinal cord in NIS can preferentially activate proximal and distal muscles along the rostrocaudal axis, as well as ipsilateral UL muscles along the mediolateral axis. However, in participants with SCI, the responses registered in UL muscles innervated by motor pools above and below the lesion demonstrated different recruitment compared to NIS, and were dependent on the level, extent, and side of SCI.
