Global Research Trends on Gait Rehabilitation in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury- A Bibliometric Analysis.
Global Spine Journal 2024 March 29
STUDY DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis.
OBJECTIVE: The study aims to comprehensively assess the literature related to gait rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to identify significant contributors, and to explore the collaborations and emerging themes in the field.
METHODS: Original and review articles in English using relevant keywords were searched in the Clarivate Web of Science database. The data from the selected articles were imported into R software. Bibliometric indicators were assessed to determine author contributions, country affiliations, journal sources, and thematic trends.
RESULTS: A total of 1313 relevant articles were identified. The USA, followed by Canada and Switzerland were the most prolific countries contributing to gait rehabilitation research in SCI. The most relevant journals were Spinal Cord, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, Journal of NeuroEngineering, and Journal of Neurotrauma. The highest contributions came from Northwestern University, the University of Miami, and the University of Alberta. The analysis revealed an increase in research interest in gait rehabilitation after 2000, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches and emerging technologies like robotics, exoskeletons, and neuromodulation.
CONCLUSION: The analysis demonstrates the importance of collaborative and interdisciplinary research in gait rehabilitation. The results indicate a shift in research focus from traditional methods to the integration of technology. The impact of publications from the USA and Europe is a notable finding. The study highlights the growth of articles related to technology-driven approaches and understanding neuroplasticity in gait rehabilitation.
