Brief Summary

1. 1.Were there differences in functional ability between ambulatory individuals with SCI who passed and failed the independent sit-to-stand (iSTS) task?
2. 2.Did the ability of iSTS relate to ability of walking as determined using a type of AAD used?
3. 3.What were factors associated with the ability of iSTS?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Independent sit-to-stand test

  Ability to perform sit-to-stand independently

  1 day

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Lower limb support during sit-to-stand test

  1 day

• Timed up and go test

  1 day

Study Arms (2)

Sit-to-stand: Pass

The subjects seated on a standard armless chair with their back upright at 90 degrees against the backrest of the chair, feet placement on the floor with the heels at 10 cm behind the knees and their arms on their sides. Then they were instructed to stand up from the chair without using the arms. The ability was recorded as 'pass' if the subjects could safely rise from the chair without using their arms and with no more than contact guarding assist.

Sit-to-stand: Fail

The subjects seated on a standard armless chair with their back upright at 90 degrees against the backrest of the chair, feet placement on the floor with the heels at 10 cm behind the knees and their arms on their sides. Then they were instructed to stand up from the chair without using the arms. The ability was recorded as 'fail' if the subjects could not rise from the chair without using their arms and/or with more than contact guarding assist.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

The study is conducted in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) who are able to walk independently with or without an ambulatory assistive device (AAD) from the Srinagarind hospital, KhonKaen University, Thailand.

You may qualify if:

• Ambulatory patients with iSCI from both non-traumatic and traumatic causes
• Aged at least 18 years
• Who are able to walk independently with or without AADs at least 15 meters continuously \[FIM locomotor (FIM-L) scores = 5 to 7\]

You may not qualify if:

• Any patients with conditions that might affect ambulatory ability; such as brain function disorders, visual deficits, musculoskeletal pain (VAS \> 5), deformity of the musculoskeletal system, unable to follow a command of the tests, unstable medical conditions.
