Abstract

Study design Sixteen-week follow-up study.Objective To evaluate the efficacy of referral from a health-care provider to regular exercise combined with 16 weeks of counselling support following discharge from inpatient or outpatient spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation.Setting Two rehabilitation centres in Canada.Methods Seventeen participants (age 42.1±10.6 years, C3-T12, ASIA impairment score A-C) were recruited at discharge from inpatient (n=9; 5.2±1.3 months post-injury) or outpatient (n=8; 14.2±3.8 months post-injury) rehabilitation and were given a referral for regular exercise. Telephone counselling support was provided and adherence to the prescribed program was monitored for 16 weeks.Results There was a nonsignificant difference in exercise adherence rates (percentage of available sessions attended) between participants discharged from inpatient (71.4±44.9%) and those from outpatient (39.5±27.2%) rehabilitation programs. The most common barriers to participation were physical health problems (50%) and transportation (36%). An exercise beliefs questionnaire revealed that participants value exercise at discharge from rehabilitation, despite the common report of a relative lack of confidence in their ability to perform or adapt aerobic and resistance exercises to their specific capabilities.Conclusion A system of direct referral and ongoing counselling support following discharge from either inpatient or outpatient SCI rehabilitation appears to encourage sustained participation, although future health promotion strategies should continue to provide specific information about how to adapt and complete aerobic and resistance exercises.Sponsorship Rick Hansen Institute and Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
