DetailedRecommendations:Objective1:Describereasonsforcompletingformalpost-SCIrehabilitationincludingmaximizingrecoveryandfutureplanningforhealthandwellness.FormalRehabilitation/PhysicalTherapyAfteraSpinalCordInjury(SCI)
Rehabilitationforaspinalcordinjury(SCI)typicallyincludesintensivecare,acutecare,inpatient,andoutpatientphysicaltherapy(PT).HomePTissometimesincludedaswell.DuringaPTepisodeofcare,peoplewithSCIwillundergotreatmenttoaddressthefollowingareas:
• Maximizingrecoveryofmotorfunction• Improvedabilityandindependencewithfunctionalactivitiesandwalking• Returntoprevioushomeandcommunityroles,aswellasreturntoleisuretime
physicalactivity• Minimizingriskoffutureinjury/medicalproblems• Maximizinghealth,wellness,andadjustmenttochangesinabilities.
ThetypicaldurationofoutpatientPTvarieswidelyfromseveralweekstomanymonths.ThelengthofstayforoutpatientPTineachindividualpersonwithSCIshouldbedeterminedasateambythepersonwiththeSCI,thephysicaltherapist,anyinvolvedfamily,otherhealthcareprofessionals,andthephysician.TheseteammembersshoulddecidehowlongoutpatientorhomePTwilllastbasedon1)objectivemeasurementsofeachperson’sgoalareas(e.g.,transfers,walking,wheelchairpropulsion)and2)theperson’sperformanceofthoseactivitiesinday-to-daylife.ApersonwithSCIshouldconsidercontinuinginoutpatientPTaslongasheorsheismakingmeaningfulandmeasureablegainsinfunctionormotorrecoveryandthenecessaryresourcesareavailable(e.g.,funding,transportation,timeandeffortrequiredtoparticipateintherapy).

RehabilitationAftertheInitialEpisodeofPTCareIsCompleted
ItisappropriateforpeoplewithSCItomaintainlong-term,intermittentrelationshipsandcommunicationwithrehabilitationprofessionals(includingphysicaltherapists)evenaftertheinitialepisodeofrehabilitationhasbeencompleted.Theseintermittentrelationshipsandcommunicationsmayoccurinmultipleformats,including:1)additionalboutsofcaretoaddressspecificproblemsthatariseortoupgradetheperson’sfunctionalactivitiesorexerciseprogramsbasedonchangesintheperson’sabilities,2)reassessments,and/or3)consultationforasecondopinion.(SeeFigure1)Insurancecoverageforthesetypesofvisitsmayvaryandshouldbecheckedonanindividualbasis.PeoplewithSCIandtheirrehabilitationteamshoulddiscussaplanforfutureinteractionsandfollow-upspriortodischargefromtheinitialepisodeofcare,includingpotentialindicationsforadditionalboutsofcareorreassessmentsinthefuture.Withopendiscussionofthisnature,peoplewithSCIcanhaveabetterunderstandingofwhentheyshouldconsiderre-initiatingcontactwithandcarefromtheirrehabilitationteaminthefuture.Figure1:ContinuumofRehabilitationafterSCI

Attimes,animprovementoradeclineinfunctionorabilitymaymakeitnecessaryforsomeonewithaSCItoundergoanadditionalepisodeofskilledPT.Forinstance,peoplewithSCIhaveahighincidenceofshoulderpain8duetoheavyshoulderuse,andphysicaltherapymaybeappropriatetoaddressthisshoulderpain.9AnotherexampleisifapersonwithSCIhasadeclineinfunction;forinstance,someonewhohasmoredifficultywithtransfersafteraperiodoftimenotperforminglateraltransfersduetoapressuresore.Ingeneral,theneedforareturntoPTshouldbeconsideredwheneversomeonewithaSCIexperiencesasignificant,measurableimprovementordeclineinmotorfunctionorfunctionalmobility.
ItmayalsobeappropriateforpeoplewithSCItofollow-upwithrehabilitationprofessionalsforreassessmentrelatedtotheirSCI.Thesereassessmentscanoccurfromquarterlytoannually.AreassessmentwithaPTshouldbeindividualizedtoeachperson’sneedsandmayinclude:
• Reassessmenttodetermineprogressionordecline• ReassessmenttodetermineneedforfurtherPTcare• Modificationtofunctionalmobilitystrategies• Equipmentassessmentandmodification• Review/modificationtoexerciseprograms.
SomepeoplewithSCImayelecttopursueaconsultationforasecondopinionabouttheirrehabilitationplanofcareatafacilitythatspecializesinSCIRehabilitation.Suchaconsultationtypicallyconsistsofasinglevisitwithoneormorerehabilitationteammembers,includingaphysicaltherapist,occupationaltherapist,and/oraphysiatrist(aphysicianwhospecializesinphysicalmedicineandrehabilitation).SuchvisitsaretypicallymostsuccessfulwhenthepersonwithSCIispreparedwithspecificquestionsandconcerns.Areasthatcouldbeaddressedinsuchaconsultationinclude,butnotarenotlimitedto:
