When we walk, we swing our arms in rhythm with our legs due to neural connections in the spinal cord. Currently, rehabilitation protocols primarily focus on leg training to improve walking function. However, past research has highlighted the importance of engaging the arms in rehabilitative interventions through arm and leg cycling following an incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). The objective of this study is to determine if the application of non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) paired with arm and leg cycling can improve walking for individuals with an iSCI. It is hypothesized that the addition of tSCS will activate previously inaccessible neural circuits within the spinal cord to produce significant improvements in walking capacity. Individuals with an iSCI underwent arm and leg cycling training that was assisted by functional electrical stimulation applied to the main extensor muscles of the leg. tSCS was applied over the cervical and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. Training consisted of 1 hour of cycling, 5 days/week for 12 weeks. A series of clinical and biomechanical assessments were performed to assess changes in functional mobility. Preliminary results in three participants showed increases in maximal walking speed on the 10-metre walk test, increases in walking endurance on the 6-minute walk test, and improved balance on the Berg Balance Scale. Preliminary biomechanical results suggested that the addition of tSCS may reduce left-right asymmetry. Arm and leg cycling paired with tSCS offers tremendous potential for improvements in walking function following an iSCI.
当我们行走时,由于脊髓中的神经连接,我们的手臂会随着腿部的节奏摆动。目前,康复方案主要侧重于腿部训练,以改善行走功能。然而,过去的研究强调了在不完全脊髓损伤(iSCI)后,通过手臂和腿部骑行让手臂参与康复干预的重要性。 本研究的目的是确定非侵入性经皮脊髓刺激(tSCS)与手臂和腿部自行车运动的搭配应用能否改善不完全脊髓损伤患者的行走能力。根据假设,经皮脊髓刺激将激活脊髓内以前无法进入的神经回路,从而显著提高行走能力。 在对腿部主要伸肌进行功能性电刺激的辅助下,患有 iSCI 的患者接受了手臂和腿部骑车训练。训练包括每周 5 天、每次 1 小时的自行车运动,为期 12 周。为评估功能活动度的变化,进行了一系列临床和生物力学评估。 三名参与者的初步结果显示,10 米步行测试中的最大步行速度提高了,6 分钟步行测试中的步行耐力提高了,伯格平衡量表中的平衡能力提高了。初步的生物力学结果表明,添加 tSCS 可减少左右不对称。 手臂和腿部自行车运动与 tSCS 相结合,为改善 iSCI 后的行走功能提供了巨大的潜力。

Teams with diverse perspectives and experiences have been increasingly recognized for their ability to identify key issues and utilize creativity and problem solving to plan and implement research and clinical initiatives that lead to greater impact. Yet, often we are unsure how to best engage individuals with differing expertise, such as those with lived experience, clinicians, healthcare administrators, engineers, researchers, funders and policy experts. After completing this workshop, participants will be able to: 1) Understand the principles and value of meaningfully engaging with a diverse team when conducting research or clinical projects, 2) Identify strategies that can facilitate the meaningful engagement of individuals with differing expertise, and 3) Create a plan of engagement for a research study or clinical initiative. A combination of lecture-based and case-based learning will be used to explain the guiding principles and best-practices for meaningful engagement and to discuss relevant resources, such as the North American Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Consortium’s SCI Resource Advocacy Course and the Integrated Knowledge Translation Guiding Principles. Participants will be asked to apply these principles and practices to one of their own research or clinical initiatives through small group discussion. The Canadian Activity-Based Therapy (ABT) Community of Practice, which brings together diverse groups to address priorities for ABT research and clinical care, will be used as a case example during large group discussion. Not applicable. Through this workshop, participants will gain knowledge and strategies that can be applied to facilitate meaningful engagement in research and clinical initiatives.
具有不同观点和经验的团队能够发现关键问题,并利用创造力和解决问题的能力来规划和实施研究与临床计划,从而产生更大的影响,这一点已日益得到认可。然而,我们往往不知道如何才能最好地让具有不同专业知识的个人参与进来,例如有生活经验的人、临床医生、医疗保健管理人员、工程师、研究人员、资助者和政策专家。完成本讲座后,学员将能够1) 了解在开展研究或临床项目时与多元化团队进行有意义合作的原则和价值;2) 确定可促进具有不同专长的个人进行有意义合作的策略;以及 3) 为研究或临床项目制定合作计划。 我们将采用讲授式学习和案例式学习相结合的方式,解释有意义参与的指导原则和最佳实践,并讨论相关资源,如北美脊髓损伤(SCI)联盟的 SCI 资源宣传课程和综合知识转化指导原则。与会者将被要求通过小组讨论将这些原则和实践应用到自己的一项研究或临床计划中。加拿大活动疗法(ABT)实践社区将在大组讨论中作为一个案例,该社区汇集了不同的团体,以解决活动疗法研究和临床护理的优先事项。 不适用。 通过本研讨会,与会者将获得可用于促进有意义地参与研究和临床活动的知识和策略。

The engagement of people with lived experience (PLEX) of spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) in rehabilitation research can lead to relevant questions and improved data collection, interpretation, knowledge translation, and research impact. We describe the process to create a toolkit which elaborates the roles that PLEX can play in rehabilitation research to ensure engagement is authentic and effective. Five separate working groups were convened to each focus on a specific role of PLEX: research team member, peer reviewer, knowledge translator, decision-maker, and fundraising ambassador. The roles of PLEX in research, relevant training tools, and indicators to measure engagement were explored through 17 virtual meetings with 45 scientists, research staff, learners, and PLEX. Menti-meter and Survey Monkey were used to select training tools via consensus. A summative meeting was held with all participants to achieve consensus regarding the role descriptions. Meeting transcripts and survey data informed iterations of the materials prior to achieving consensus. The Toolkit contains five role descriptions for PLEX as well as example activities, training requirements for scientists and PLEX, and specific indicators for each role. The Toolkit includes several best practice considerations and three practical tools for researchers to plan engagement, facilitate compensation, and implement/evaluate engagement. The Toolkit can be used by researchers and research organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate engagement plans with PLEX in SCI/D rehabilitation research. This Toolkit can be used to transform the SCI/D rehabilitation research and advocacy agenda, and contribute to more relevant research with a greater impact.
让脊髓损伤/疾病(SCI/D)的亲身经历者(PLEX)参与康复研究可以提出相关问题,改善数据收集、解释、知识转化和研究影响。我们介绍了创建工具包的过程,该工具包阐述了 PLEX 在康复研究中可以发挥的作用,以确保参与的真实性和有效性。 我们召集了五个独立的工作组,每个工作组关注 PLEX 的特定角色:研究团队成员、同行评审员、知识翻译、决策者和筹款大使。通过与 45 名科学家、研究人员、学习者和 PLEX 举行 17 次虚拟会议,探讨了 PLEX 在研究中的角色、相关培训工具以及衡量参与度的指标。通过协商一致,使用 Menti-meter 和 Survey Monkey 选择了培训工具。与所有与会者举行了一次总结会议,就角色描述达成共识。在达成共识之前,会议记录和调查数据为材料的反复修改提供了依据。 该工具包包含 PLEX 的五种角色描述、示例活动、对科学家和 PLEX 的培训要求以及每种角色的具体指标。该工具包还包括若干最佳实践注意事项和三个实用工具,供研究人员规划参与、促进补偿和实施/评估参与。 研究人员和研究机构可利用该工具包制定、实施和评估 SCI/D 康复研究中的 PLEX 参与计划。该工具包可用于改变 SCI/D 康复研究和宣传议程,并有助于开展更具影响力的相关研究。

Functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted arm and leg (A&L) cycling is an effective rehabilitative intervention for improving walking following an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). The goal of this study was to assess the potential benefits of combining transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) with A&L cycling to potentially improve functional mobility and activities of daily living for persons living with motor complete SCI. This is a case study of a participant with AIS B SCI. The participant has been undergoing FES-assisted A&L cycling training combined with cervical and lumbar tSCS (1 hr/day, 5 days/week) for 37 weeks. Assessments were performed pre-training and every 6 weeks thereafter and include the International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI), time able to stand while assisted, and training load of each exercise session. Although there were no changes in the ISNCSCI scores, the duration of assisted standing increased from 10s per-training to 33.5s at 36 weeks post-training. Interestingly, the addition of tSCS enhanced standing duration to 38.5s. Moreover, the total power output exerted by the participant consistently increased over time. This study provides, for the first time, evidence that FES-assisted A&L cycling paired with non-invasive tSCS can be safely completed after severe SCI and leads to improvements in training load and assisted standing. Additional assessments will be incorporated to further identify improvements in function and quality of life. Future work will assess the benefits of using epidural spinal cord stimulation combined with A&L cycling after motor complete SCI.
功能性电刺激(FES)辅助手臂和腿部(A&L)骑车是一种有效的康复干预措施,可改善不完全脊髓损伤(SCI)后的行走能力。本研究旨在评估经皮脊髓刺激(tSCS)与手脚并用自行车运动相结合的潜在益处,以改善运动性完全性脊髓损伤患者的功能活动能力和日常活动。 这是一项关于 AIS B SCI 患者的案例研究。该患者已接受了 37 周的 FES 辅助 A&L 骑行训练,并结合了颈椎和腰椎的 tSCS(每天 1 小时,每周 5 天)。训练前和训练后每 6 周进行一次评估,评估内容包括国际 SCI 神经系统分类标准(ISNCSCI)、在辅助下能够站立的时间以及每次训练的训练负荷。 虽然ISNCSCI评分没有变化,但辅助站立的时间从每次训练10秒增加到训练后36周的33.5秒。有趣的是,添加 tSCS 后,站立时间延长至 38.5 秒。此外,随着时间的推移,参与者的总功率输出也在持续增加。 这项研究首次提供了证据,证明在重度 SCI 后可以安全地完成 FES 辅助 A&L 骑行和无创 tSCS,并能改善训练负荷和辅助站立。还将纳入其他评估,以进一步确定功能和生活质量的改善情况。未来的工作将评估在运动性完全性 SCI 后使用硬膜外脊髓刺激结合 A&L 骑自行车的益处。

Exercising after spinal cord injury (SCI) is necessary to prevent or reduce secondary complications such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, or type II diabetes. The effects of SCI on muscle and autonomic functions determine type, duration, and intensity of exercise capacity. Although SCI exercise guidelines exist, achieving these recommendations requires a comprehensive understanding of how muscle and autonomic function affect a person’s exercise capability. Therefore, we reviewed the effect of SCI level on muscle and sympathetic function during exercise for those living with SCI to better develop strategies to achieve these guidelines. A literature review of exercise, muscle control and SCI was performed to identify muscles innervated by each level and how key sympathetic tissues and organs required for exercise are affected by SCI. We identified spinal levels responsible for increasing heart rate, cardiovascular smooth muscle contraction, inducing sweat and activating adrenal glands since these are essential in maintaining high intensity and long duration exercise. We translated the information into a comprehensive user-friendly poster. A comprehensive graphical poster was developed for those living with SCI to understand and identify how their level of SCI affects their muscle and sympathetic function needed for optimal exercise and to meet exercise guidelines. This infographic fills a void since this type of ‘person-centred’ information is lacking in the SCI and exercise field. The knowledge acquired through this infographic could further guide training practices and exercise modifications to increase exercise capacity and quality of life for those living with SCI.
脊髓损伤(SCI)后有必要进行锻炼,以预防或减少继发性并发症,如肥胖、心血管疾病或 II 型糖尿病。SCI 对肌肉和自主神经功能的影响决定了运动能力的类型、持续时间和强度。虽然存在 SCI 运动指南,但要实现这些建议,需要全面了解肌肉和自律神经功能如何影响患者的运动能力。因此,我们回顾了 SCI 水平对 SCI 患者运动时肌肉和交感神经功能的影响,以便更好地制定实现这些指南的策略。 我们对运动、肌肉控制和 SCI 进行了文献综述,以确定每个级别所支配的肌肉,以及 SCI 如何影响运动所需的主要交感神经组织和器官。我们确定了负责增加心率、心血管平滑肌收缩、诱导出汗和激活肾上腺的脊柱水平,因为这些对于维持高强度和长时间运动至关重要。我们将这些信息转化为便于使用的综合海报。 我们为患有 SCI 的患者制作了一份综合图解海报,让他们了解并确定他们的 SCI 水平如何影响肌肉和交感神经功能,从而达到最佳运动效果并符合运动指南的要求。 该信息图表填补了 SCI 和运动领域缺乏此类 "以人为本 "信息的空白。通过该信息图表获得的知识可进一步指导训练实践和运动调整,从而提高 SCI 患者的运动能力和生活质量。

Drug-induced myelopathy has been reported widely for heroin use, but less frequently for amphetamines or fentanyl. Hyperglycemia-induced acute myelopathy has not previously been described. We present a case of toxic/metabolic myelopathy secondary to the aforementioned results in a patient presenting for tertiary inpatient rehabilitation. A 28-year-old man with Type 1 Diabetes without complications and polysubstance use (fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine) presented to hospital with quadriparesis and anesthesia. Patient reported he fell down a flight of stairs while using substances and remained on the ground for hours-days as he was acutely paralyzed when he awoke. Initial examination demonstrated a C5 motor level. Pan-CT demonstrated no intracranial or spinous abnormalities. MRI with gadolinium showed cord edema from C1-T4 and patchy enhancement from C4-C7 without cord compression. Diffusion restriction and hemorrhagic transformation were later seen in C4-C7. Initial blood glucose was 66 with no serum ketones. Serum toxicology was negative and urine toxicology was positive for amphetamines and fentanyl. Autoimmune and infectious workups were negative. He received 5 days of pulse steroids and 7 sessions of plasmapheresis with minimal functional or neurological improvement. He was admitted to rehabilitation as a C5 AIS-B and did not exhibit further improvement in motor or sensory function over 3 months of active inpatient rehab. Given the pattern of cord enhancement with hemorrhagic transformation, this injury most likely represents acute myelitis induced by hyperglycemia and amphetamines/fentanyl. To our knowledge, this is the first case report where hyperglycemia may have contributed to acute myelopathy.
使用海洛因导致药物诱发脊髓病的报道很多,但使用苯丙胺或芬太尼导致药物诱发脊髓病的报道较少。高血糖诱发的急性脊髓病以前尚未见报道。 我们介绍了一例因上述结果而继发中毒性/代谢性脊髓病的病例,患者前来接受三级住院康复治疗。 一名 28 岁的男性患者患有 1 型糖尿病,无并发症,曾使用多种药物(芬太尼和冰毒),因四肢瘫痪和麻醉入院。患者称,他在使用毒品时从楼梯上摔下,醒来时已严重瘫痪,在地上躺了数小时至数天。初步检查显示其运动水平为 C5。全景 CT 显示颅内或脊柱无异常。磁共振钆成像显示,C1-T4脊髓水肿,C4-C7脊髓斑片状强化,但无脊髓受压。随后在 C4-C7 出现弥散受限和出血转化。初始血糖为 66,无血清酮体。血清毒物检测呈阴性,尿液毒物检测呈苯丙胺和芬太尼阳性。自身免疫和感染检查结果均为阴性。他接受了 5 天的脉冲类固醇治疗和 7 个疗程的血浆置换术,但功能和神经系统改善甚微。他作为 C5 AIS-B 级患者入院进行康复治疗,在积极的住院康复治疗 3 个月后,运动或感觉功能没有进一步改善。 考虑到出血性转化的脊髓强化模式,这种损伤很可能是由高血糖和安非他明/芬太尼诱发的急性脊髓炎。据我们所知,这是第一例高血糖可能导致急性脊髓炎的病例报告。

To our knowledge, this is the first case report where hyperglycemia may have contributed to acute myelopathy.","PeriodicalId":46769,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monitoring skin integrity is a critical issue for patients with spinal cord injury. Damage to the skin can go unnoticed due to sensory loss or diminution and can result in pressure injuries or wounds that can be difficult to heal. A team of inpatient clinicians and people with lived experience worked together to create a ‘SkIn-fo-Graphic’ that would be used to teach all new inpatients how to do a full body skin check. A full picture of the body, contributed by Spinal Cord Injury Ontario (SCIO), was marked with the names of specific bony prominences and areas which should be viewed daily to ensure a skin check is complete. Staff at our Centre modified the graphic and created step-by-step instructions. Patients provided feedback on terminology and placement of words/ arrows for clarity. Further refinement was completed by SCIO and clinical staff to create the final tool and instructions. A graphic was developed iteratively by a community organization, physicians, allied health professionals and patients to provide a tool with instructions that can be used by both clinical staff (to teach daily skin check) and patients (as a reference for doing their own checks). A QR Code link was also created to directly link patients to more in-depth skin education on the community partner website. Engaging all stakeholders in the development of a key tool for instruction of skin check in patients with spinal cord injury is important to ensure complete clarity and utility.
对于脊髓损伤患者来说,监测皮肤完整性是一个至关重要的问题。由于感觉缺失或减弱,皮肤损伤可能会被忽视,并可能导致难以愈合的压力伤或伤口。一个由住院临床医生和有生活经验者组成的团队共同制作了一张 "SkIn-fo-Graphic",用于教所有新住院病人如何进行全身皮肤检查。 由安大略省脊髓损伤协会(SCIO)提供的人体全图上标注了特定骨骼突起和部位的名称,这些部位应每天查看,以确保皮肤检查完整。我们中心的员工对图形进行了修改,并制作了分步说明。患者就术语和字词/箭头的位置提供了反馈意见,以提高清晰度。SCIO 和临床工作人员进一步完善了最终的工具和说明。 一个社区组织、医生、专职医疗人员和患者反复开发了一个图形,以提供一个带有说明的工具,供临床工作人员(教授日常皮肤检查)和患者(作为自己进行检查时的参考)使用。还创建了一个 QR 码链接,直接将患者链接到社区合作伙伴网站上更深入的皮肤教育。 让所有利益相关者都参与到脊髓损伤患者皮肤检查关键工具的开发中,对于确保工具的清晰度和实用性非常重要。

Following a traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI), patients prioritize being able to manage their bowels independently. A reduction of independence can impact an individual’s quality of life. The current study investigates the relationships between sphincter control, level of independence and quality of life. We hypothesized that sphincter control would relate strongly to levels of independence and quality of life. Adults with tSCI who consented to participate in the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry at the Lyndhurst Rehabilitation Centre completed community follow-up interviews from 2014-2021. Data was collected at baseline, year 1, 2 and 5 (n = 330). Descriptive data and neurological level of injury (NLI) were collected, along with the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LiSAT-11), 36-item Short Form Survey Quality of Life measures (SF-36v2) and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM). Separate analyses were conducted for NLI C1-T10 (upper motor neuron [UMN] [n=280]), and T11-S5 (lower motor neuron [LMN] [n=50]). Associations between sphincter management and life satisfaction were calculated using Spearman’s correlation coefficient, adjusted for age and sex. SCIM had a moderate, yet significant relationship with LiSAT-11 (r2=0.48, p<0.001) for LMN, but no relationship for UMN (r2= 0.17, p<0.001). A weak relationship was observed between SCIM and SF-36v2 for LMN (r2=0.30, p=0.014) but no relationship for UMN (r2=0.01, p=0.59). Sphincter management scores after rehabilitation discharge are not a strong predictor of life satisfaction following tSCI suggesting that a multifaceted approach is required to assess an individuals’ quality of life post tSCI.
创伤性脊髓损伤 (tSCI) 后,患者会优先考虑能否独立处理大小便。独立性的降低会影响患者的生活质量。本研究调查了括约肌控制能力、独立程度和生活质量之间的关系。我们假设括约肌控制能力与独立程度和生活质量密切相关。 同意参加林德赫斯特康复中心里克-汉森脊髓损伤登记处(Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry)的成人脊髓损伤患者在 2014-2021 年间完成了社区随访。数据收集时间为基线、第 1 年、第 2 年和第 5 年(n = 330)。收集了描述性数据和神经损伤程度(NLI),以及生活满意度问卷(LiSAT-11)、36 项简表生活质量调查(SF-36v2)和脊髓独立性测量 III(SCIM)。对 NLI C1-T10(上运动神经元 [UMN] [n=280])和 T11-S5(下运动神经元 [LMN] [n=50])进行了单独分析。使用斯皮尔曼相关系数计算括约肌管理与生活满意度之间的关系,并对年龄和性别进行调整。 对于 LMN 而言,SCIM 与 LiSAT-11 有中度但显著的关系(r2=0.48,p<0.001),但对于 UMN 则没有关系(r2= 0.17,p<0.001)。就 LMN 而言,SCIM 与 SF-36v2 之间的关系较弱(r2=0.30,p=0.014),但就 UMN 而言,两者之间没有关系(r2=0.01,p=0.59)。 康复出院后的括约肌管理评分并不能有力地预测创伤后脊柱侧弯术后的生活满意度,这表明需要采用多方面的方法来评估创伤后脊柱侧弯术后患者的生活质量。

Rehabilitation approaches after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) differ across rehabilitation centres and between therapists. Differences may be influenced by factors such as therapeutic approaches, equipment availability, training provided for therapists, or demographics of admitted patients. A measure of physical function that is widely used within Canadian rehabilitation centres is the Standing and Walking Assessment Tool (SWAT). It is not clear what factors or therapeutic approaches lead to optimal standing and walking outcomes in the SCI population. To explore the perspectives of physio-therapists on factors that affect standing and walking outcomes in inpatient SCI rehabilitation. Three focus groups were conducted with nine physiotherapists representing seven inpatient rehabilitation centres across Canada to provide their perspectives on current practices and to gain in-depth insights into centre-specific factors that may influence standing and walking outcomes. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the focus group data. Thematic analysis revealed that high treatment intensity and frequency are needed for optimal standing and walking outcomes. Physiotherapists emphasized that appropriate length of stay was essential to deliver an effective treatment plan. They noted, however, that there is pressure to discharge patients quickly leading to shorter length of stays and a perceived compromise in outcomes. Physiotherapists emphasized the importance of building rapport with patients, creating an exciting therapeutic environment, and the availability of enough staff for optimal recovery. The findings of this qualitative study will inform the implementation and development of opportunities to optimize standing and walking outcomes across rehabilitation centres in Canada.
脊髓损伤(SCI)后的康复方法因康复中心和治疗师而异。差异可能受到治疗方法、设备可用性、为治疗师提供的培训或入院患者人口统计学等因素的影响。加拿大康复中心广泛使用的身体功能测量方法是站立和行走评估工具(SWAT)。目前尚不清楚哪些因素或治疗方法可使 SCI 患者获得最佳的站立和行走效果。 旨在探讨理疗师对影响 SCI 住院康复患者站立和行走效果的因素的看法。 我们与代表加拿大七家住院康复中心的九名理疗师进行了三次焦点小组讨论,以提供他们对当前做法的看法,并深入了解可能影响站立和行走效果的特定中心因素。专题分析法用于分析焦点小组的数据。 主题分析表明,要达到最佳的站立和行走效果,需要高强度和高频率的治疗。物理治疗师强调,适当的住院时间对于提供有效的治疗计划至关重要。然而,他们也注意到,患者出院的压力很大,导致住院时间缩短,治疗效果大打折扣。物理治疗师强调了与患者建立融洽关系、创造令人兴奋的治疗环境以及配备足够的工作人员以实现最佳康复效果的重要性。 这项定性研究的结果将为加拿大各康复中心实施和发展优化站立和行走效果的机会提供参考。

Sexual health is an important component of overall health. Yet, sexuality is often neglected in rehabilitation. Studies indicate that typically clinicians do not address the sexual health concerns of patients because of lack of adequate training, comfort, and knowledge in this area. The purpose of this initiative was to develop and implement an e-learning module to address the current gap in rehabilitation practice. In 2021, an interdisciplinary team of rehab clinicians worked with an Instructional Designer based at Parkwood Institute to develop e-Learning modules aimed to introduce rehab teams to sexual health rehab and application to practice. The modules were launched at Parkwood Institute in January 2022 and were compulsory education for all rehabilitation staff in Spinal Cord, Acquired Brain Injury and Stroke programs. They were subsequently launched more broadly at Vancouver Coastal Health in March 2022. Surveys were conducted to assess the impact of the modules on clinical application. To date,186/209 (89%) of rehabilitation staff at Parkwood Institute and a total of 55 clinicians from Vancouver Coastal Health have completed the modules. Preliminary results show improvement in confidence, knowledge, and ability to address the sexual health needs of rehabilitation patients. The e-Learning modules help fill the current practice gap and facilitate sustainability of sexual health practice in clinical settings. Accessible educational opportunities such as the e-modules are valuable tools in enhancing self-efficacy of staff when addressing sexual health concerns of patients.
性健康是整体健康的重要组成部分。然而,在康复治疗中,性健康往往被忽视。研究表明,临床医生通常不会解决患者的性健康问题,因为他们缺乏这方面的足够培训、舒适度和知识。 这项计划的目的是开发并实施一个电子学习模块,以解决目前康复实践中存在的差距。 2021 年,一个由康复临床医生组成的跨学科团队与帕克伍德研究所的一名教学设计师合作开发了电子学习模块,旨在向康复团队介绍性健康康复以及在实践中的应用。这些模块于 2022 年 1 月在帕克伍德研究所推出,是脊髓、后天性脑损伤和中风项目所有康复人员的必修课。随后,温哥华海岸医疗中心于 2022 年 3 月更广泛地推出了这些模块。我们进行了调查,以评估这些模块对临床应用的影响。 迄今为止,帕克伍德研究所的 186/209 名康复人员(89%)和温哥华海岸医疗中心的 55 名临床医生已完成了这些模块。初步结果显示,康复患者在解决性健康需求方面的信心、知识和能力都有所提高。 电子学习模块有助于填补当前的实践空白,促进临床环境中性健康实践的可持续性。电子模块等易于获取的教育机会是提高工作人员解决患者性健康问题的自我效能的宝贵工具。
