Understanding Experiences of People With Spinal Cord Injury Undergoing Activity-based Rehabilitation

NCT04000256 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) makes up half of all the newly admitted patients. For these individuals, the use of their upper limbs is critical for managing daily activities and self-care and impacts their quality of life. For home-based monitored rehabilitation, also called telerehabilitation, there are various rehabilitation equipment that are used. No studies have systematically gathered information regarding the perceptions of individuals with SCI regarding these equipment, training, and feasibility within the home. Further, their perceptions of the usability of high vs low end equipment is also not explored. In this study, investigators plan to gather survey and interview data from individuals with SCI regarding their experience with using rehabilitation equipment that uses games, muscle stimulation, and object manipulation. This study will inform the development of a tele-rehabilitation intervention in the future.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Activity based rehabilitation

Activity based rehabilitation for the upper extremity involves various gross and fine movements, reach and object transportation, and object manipulation. The rehabilitation equipment used during training will include gaming and instrumented training equipment, conventional table-top tasks, and exercise aids.
