Lower Extremities

The aim of this project is to answer the question how rehabilitation treatment is tailored, with the intention to reveal a possible causality between lower extremity function improvements and adaptations in therapy treatment. We intend to achieve this by monitoring and analyzing the intensity, frequency and content of interventions in the physiotherapy sessions. Physical therapy interventions during acute in-patient rehabilitation of iSCI patients (AIS B, C, D all lesion levels) are recorded using a specified therapy intervention form, modified from the SCI – Intervention Classification System. Mobility, demographics and clinical data are retrieved from the EMSCI database. The data acquisition in this multicenter study is obtained by a digital application, in which the therapy intervention form is embedded. In this way, an efficient and thorough therapy monitoring can be ensured.
