Brief Summary

1. Were there differences in functional ability between ambulatory individuals with SCI who passed and failed the independent sit-to-stand (iSTS) task?

2. Did the ability of iSTS relate to ability of walking as determined using a type of AAD used?

3. What were factors associated with the ability of iSTS?

Detailed Description

• To evaluate the proportion and compare functional abilities between subjects who passed and failed the independent sit-to-stand (iSTS) task.
• To assess the relationship between ability of iSTS and types of AAD used.
• To investigate factors associated with the ability of iSTS.

Conditions

Injuries, Spinal Cord

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: CASE_CROSSOVER
• Study Time Perspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL

Study Groups

Sit-to-stand: Pass

The subjects seated on a standard armless chair with their back upright at 90 degrees against the backrest of the chair, feet placement on the floor with the heels at 10 cm behind the knees and their arms on their sides. Then they were instructed to stand up from the chair without using the arms. The ability was recorded as 'pass' if the subjects could safely rise from the chair without using their arms and with no more than contact guarding assist.

No interventions assigned to this group

Sit-to-stand: Fail

The subjects seated on a standard armless chair with their back upright at 90 degrees against the backrest of the chair, feet placement on the floor with the heels at 10 cm behind the knees and their arms on their sides. Then they were instructed to stand up from the chair without using the arms. The ability was recorded as 'fail' if the subjects could not rise from the chair without using their arms and/or with more than contact guarding assist.
