  • more variable, restoration
    Consider:
     Degree of motor return below level of injury
     Insurance coverage
     Access to ongoing PT/rehab
     Housing options & accessibility
     Body habitus
     Age

Q

What is the gait training approach for complete injuries?

A

Complete

17
Q

Positive Prognostic Indicators:

A
  • Age <65
  • Lower extremity motor function (any) –> L3 and S1 key myotomes
  • Pinprick sensation sparing –> L3 & S1 key dermatomes
  • AIS C or D classification
18
Q

What is the Clinical Prediction Rule for Locomotor Recovery Post SCI

A
  • AIS Testing administered within 15 days and 1 year post-injury independent walking (SCIM) used as primary outcome
    1. Lower extremity motor scores for quads and PFs
    2. Sensory scoring (light touch) for L3 and S1 dermatomes
    3. Age (> or <65)
19
Q

What can dictate the type of gait interventions in your POC?

A

Spinal Cord Level of injury
regardless of severity

20
Q

Injury above L1

A

= upper motor neuron (UMN) injury → follows
recovery pattern for CNS damage – similar to CVA or TBI
 Experience-dependent principles of neuroplasticity
 PT should include task-specific, repetitive, high intensity stepping training

21
Q

Injury below L1

A

= lower motor neuron (LMN) injury → follows
recovery pattern for PNS damage
 Time for regrowth of peripheral nerves approx. 1-2 mm/day
 PT should accommodate for deficits to maximize functional
independence – bracing, etc (KAFOs)

22
Q

What is restoration gait training

A

application of experience-dependent principles of neuroplasticity
- focus on neurologic recovery of walking function
- Implementation: using various modalities, CPG to improve locomotor function following chronic stroke/incomplete SCI and brain injury

23
Q

Manual Wheelchair - Rigid

A
  • For full time independent MWC users
  • Usually lower-level complete injuries
  • can be challenging to get into car bc it doesnt fold
24
Q

Manual Wheelchair - Folding manual

A

 For part-time independent MWC users (some level of ambulation)
 For MWC users who may require assistance
