Background: An intricate physiological and pathophysiological connection exists between the heart and lungs, which is especially important in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). While an exercise intervention may seem the best approach to leverage this relationship, the prior work has shown that, despite numerous health benefits, regular exercise training does not improve cardiorespiratory control in individuals with SCI. Breath training presents an alternative intervention that is uniquely accessible, with yogic breathing directly engaging linked fluctuations in respiration and cardiovascular control...

Complete thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a loss of innervation to the abdominal muscles, which affects trunk stability and performance of activities of daily living from a sitting position. Respiratory function is also affected, leading to frequent pulmonary complications. Given the importance of trunk stability and respiratory function, we investigated the effects of electromyography triggered electrical stimulation (EMG-ES) applied to the abdominal muscles on sitting balance, respiratory functions and abdominal muscle thickness in individuals with complete thoracic SCI...

Literature has shown that simulated power production during conventional functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling was improved by 14% by releasing the ankle joint from a fixed ankle setup and with the stimulation of the tibialis anterior and triceps surae. This study aims to investigate the effect of releasing the ankle joint on the pedal power production during FES cycling in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Seven persons with motor complete SCI participated in this study. All participants performed 1 min of fixed-ankle and 1 min of free-ankle FES cycling with two stimulation modes...

Sleep-wake disturbances (SWDs) is one of the most common complaints following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The high prevalence and socioeconomic burden of sleep-wake disturbances (SWDs) post-TBI have only been recognized in the past decade. Common SWDs induced by TBI include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), hypersomnia, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Sleep disturbances can significantly compromise quality of life, strain interpersonal relationships, diminish work productivity, exacerbate other clinical conditions, and impede the rehabilitation process of TBI patients...

There is no choice other than rehabilitation as a practical medical treatment to restore impairments or improve activities after acute treatment in people with spinal cord injury (SCI); however, the effect is unremarkable. Therefore, researchers have been seeking effective pharmacological treatments. These will, hopefully, exert a greater effect when combined with rehabilitation. However, no review has specifically summarized the combinatorial effects of rehabilitation with various medical agents. In the current review, which included 43 articles, we summarized the combinatorial effects according to the properties of the medical agents, namely neuromodulation, neurotrophic factors, counteraction to inhibitory factors, and others...

Evaluating the experiences of persons with spinal cord injury (PwSCI) regarding their transitions in care and changes in health, function, and quality of life is complex, fragmented, and involves multiple tools and measures. A staged protocol was implemented with PwSCI and relevant expert stakeholders initially exploring and selecting existing measures or tools through a modified Delphi process, followed by choosing one of two options. The options were to either support the use of the 10 selected tools from the Delphi method or to co-develop one unique condensed tool with relevant measures to evaluate all four domains...

Brief exposure to repeated episodes of low inspired oxygen, or acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH), is a promising therapeutic modality to improve motor function after chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Although therapeutic AIH is under extensive investigation in people with SCI, limited data are available concerning cardiorespiratory responses during and following AIH exposure despite implications for AIH safety and tolerability. Thus, we recorded immediate (during treatment) and enduring (up to 30 min post-treatment) cardiorespiratory responses to AIH in 19 participants with chronic SCI (>1 year post injury; injury levels C1 to T6; American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A to D; mean age = 33...

INTRODUCTION: Most post-injury traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) care occurs in the inpatient rehabilitation setting. The inpatient rehabilitation length of stay (R-LOS) has been shown to be a significant predictor of motor function restoration in persons with TSCI. Due to the complexity, and heterogeneity of individuals with TSCI, the R-LOS is challenging to predict at admission. PURPOSE: To identify the main predictors of R-LOS and derive an equation to estimate R-LOS in persons with TSCI...

INTRODUCTION: Due to activity limitations and physical environmental barriers, low remunerative employment is a challenging issue for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and relevant rehabilitation personnel. Since work opportunities in digital fields have continued to emerge, this study aims to report and discuss the possibility of using digital working as a strategy for increasing remunerative employment in people with SCI. CASE PRESENTATION: We report live experiences of four people with SCI in Thailand who have digital works with different types of jobs (image segmentation and identification for artificial intelligence development, online merchant, online streamer, cryptocurrency investor), different required digital skills (basic or intermediate digital skills), different employment statuses (employee or owner), and different incomes (from 50 to 200 USD/month)...
