Brief Summary

People living with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience a range of secondary health conditions that impact their quality of lives. The Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) is a 16-item questionnaire that assess secondary health conditions in persons with SCI. The total score of SCI-SCS range from 0 to 48 and is derived by adding the scores for each item. Higher scores indicate greater problems with secondary conditions. The investigators aimed to determine the reliability and cross-cultural validation of the Turkish translation of the SCI-SCS.
