Before And After

Spinal cord stimulation may enable recovery of volitional motor control in people with chronic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). In this study we explored the effects of adding SCS, applied transcutaneously (tSCS) at vertebral levels T10/11, to a sit-to-stand training intervention in people with motor complete and incomplete SCI. Nine people with chronic SCI (six motor complete; three motor incomplete) participated in an 8-week intervention, incorporating three training sessions per week. Participants received either tSCS combined with sit-to-stand training (STIM) or sit-to-stand training alone (NON-STIM). Outcome measures were carried out before and after the intervention. Seven participants completed the intervention (STIM N = 5; NON-STIM N = 2). Post training, improvements in International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) motor scores were noted in three STIM participants (range 1.0–7.0), with no change in NON-STIM participants. Recovery of volitional lower limb muscle activity and/or movement (with tSCS off) was noted in three STIM participants. Unassisted standing was not achieved in any participant, although standing with minimal assistance was achieved in one STIM participant. This pilot study has shown that the recruitment of participants, intervention and outcome measures were all feasible in this study design. However, some modifications are recommended for a larger trial.

Significant Difference

Changes in the management and financing of health care are resulting in increased demands for better information about patients who are treated on an ambulatory basis in hospitals. A pilot study was conducted with the aim of determining the profile of patients who utilise accident and emergency services at St. Vincent's Hospital, Sydney. The International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) was used to classify both the diagnoses and treatments of patients in the study. 50% of patients fell into two diagnostic categories, 40% of patients resided outside the Eastern Sydney area, no significant difference in the morbidity profiles according to area of residence of patients was found and 25% of patients returned to the hospital within a five month period. The application of the ICPC in an accident and emergency setting is discussed.
