The process of adapting to a physical disability is complex and multi-dimensional. It is influenced by many variables that affect adequate life adjustment and psychological wellbeing. This study addresses the specific ef...

ABSTRACT Spinal cord injury (SCI), which is a severe complication of spinal fractures, often causes the dysfunction of the spinal cord and results in sensory and motor abnormalities. Current clinical treatments—includi...

Background: The rehabilitation experience can influence the transition back to home and community life. With impending National Health Insurance reform and limited rehabilitation guidelines in South Africa, there is a n...

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in reduced core region function and shoulder pain among wheelchair users. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of modified dynamic neuromuscular stabilizati...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a cascade of primary and secondary pathological events that culminate in the formation of glial and fibrotic scars, which constitute a major barrier to axonal regeneration and functional...

BackgroundHyponatremia is a prevalent electrolyte disorder in patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI), which can significantly increase the risk of adverse complications and impair long-term prognosis. Despite its c...

Background: Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often face numerous challenges in their communities after completing rehabilitation. This study aimed to examine the socioeconomic status and level of life satisfacti...

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) has emerged as a major challenge to global public health due to its low recovery rate and high disability rate, making the development of novel therapeutic approaches imperative. Mese...
