Responsiveness of a Neuromuscular Recovery Scale for Spinal Cord Injury: Inpatient and Outpatient Rehabilitation
Abstract
This multi-centered study (7 performance sites) assesses the responsiveness of the Neuromuscular Recovery Scale (NRS) for people with spinal cord injury. The NRS evaluates true recovery of pre-injury movement, rather than compensatory progress, during inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation for spinal cord injury. At the time of this report, approvals have been received and are current for the coordinating site, the University of Florida and for six clinical performance sites, the Ohio State University, Frazier Rehabilitation Institute, Kessler Rehabilitation Institute, TIRR at Memorial Hermann, Shepherd Center, Magee Rehabilitation Hospital. One site has IRB proposal under review. Enrollment and data collection continue at all approved sites with 72% of the outpatient population completed and 19% of the in-patient population completed both initial and discharge NRS evaluations. Website construction is under development through streaming web services at Ohio State University (OSU) to provide an introduction to the NRS via video and an instructional guide.
