Sponsor's own description
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious condition that causes physical, psychological, and social functional impairments. Paraplegia is characterized by the loss of motor and/or sensory function at the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral levels of the spinal cord, affecting the trunk, lower extremities, and pelvic organ functions. Functional independence and the ability to use a wheelchair are primary goals of rehabilitation. In paraplegia, the upper extremities are preserved; however, overuse often leads to shoulder and wrist pain and overuse injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Pain is the most common symptom negatively impacting patients' quality of life. Additionally, findings such as decreased muscle strength, spasticity, atrophy, and joint limitations reduce functional performance. This study aims to investigate the relationships between upper extremity function (endurance and performance) and symptoms including pain, sensory loss, atrophy, joint limitations, and grip strength in individuals with paraplegia. Assessment methods used include the ASIA scale, 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test, Purdue Pegboard Test, DASH questionnaire, hand dynamometer, and Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
