Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is a multicenter longitudinal observational study. The therapy content and the therapy dosage of arm/skill training for patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) will be observed for the primary objective. The aim is to get insight into the current therapy content and the current therapy dosage in arm/hand skill training, with the overall aim to optimize the arm/hand skill training. For the secondary objective, in addition to the patients with cervical SCI also, patients with paraplegia as a result of SCI are included. The aim is to assess the difference between the patient's perceived dose and the therapist's estimation of the therapy dose. This will give insight into the patient's and therapist's views on therapy dose; this information will contribute to optimizing therapy dose in exercise therapy in SCI. The third aim is a pilot study to explore the usability of evening reports in SCI rehabilitation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients

Patients will be observed during their active training sessions.

Patients will be asked questions about:

* fatigue
* physical fatigue
* pain
* the difficulty of the session
* motivation

Observation and questionnaire of active therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

There will be an observation of the usual care; no intervention will be added.

Therapists

Therapists will be asked questions about the observed training sessions of the patients. The questions will be about:

* Estimation of active training time
* Estimation of patient's fatigue
* Estimation of the patient's perceived difficulty of the session
* Estimation of the patient's perceived physical fatigue of the session
* Estimation of the patient's perceived motivation for the session

Observation and questionnaire of active therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

There will be an observation of the usual care; no intervention will be added.
