Background. In spinal cord injury, there are multiple databases containing information on functional recovery, but data cannot be pooled or compared due to differences in how function is measured. A crosswalk is needed to link or convert scores between instruments. Objectives. To create a crosswalk between the voluntary musculoskeletal movement items in the Functional Independence Measure (FIM®) and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III) for spinal cord injury. Methods. Retrospective datasets with FIM® and SCIM III on the same people were used to develop (Swiss dataset, n = 662) and validate (US, n = 119, and Canadian datasets, n = 133) the crosswalks. Three different crosswalk methods (expert panel, equipercentile, and Rasch analysis) were employed. We used the correlation between observed scores on FIM® and SCIM III to crosswalked scores as the primary criterion to assess the strength of the crosswalk. Secondary criteria such as score distributions, Cohen’s effect size, point differences, and subgroup invariance were also evaluated. Results. All three methods resulted in strong correlation coefficients, exceeding the primary criterion value of r = .866 (.897–.972). Assessment of secondary criteria suggests the equipercentile and Rasch methods produced the strongest crosswalks. Conclusions. The Rasch FIM®/SCIM III crosswalk is recommended because it is based on co-calibration of linearized measures, allowing for more sophisticated parametric analyses. The crosswalk will allow comparisons of voluntary musculoskeletal functional recovery across international databases using different functional measures, as well as different systems of care and rehabilitation approaches.

Resilience is central to living well with a spinal cord injury (SCI). To provide a timely, targeted, and individualized intervention supporting resilience, it is necessary to assess an individual’s resilience level and characteristics of resilience on an ongoing basis. We aimed to validate the different types of resilient coping among people with SCI (PwSCI), using the Connor–Davidson resilience scale, and to identify the relationships between resilience and other psychosocial factors among the types of resilient coping. We recruited 93 PwSCI, who took the self-report measures of resilience, depression, life satisfaction, and spirituality. Using latent class analysis, we found three types: (a) goal-pursuing, bouncing-back, and persevering, named GP; (b) uncertainty about coping with setbacks, named UC; and (c) loss of resilient coping, named LOSS. The multivariate tests indicated that the three types differed on a linear combination of resilience, depression, and life satisfaction, with a large effect size. We discussed the three types of resilient coping and the implications for psychosocial interventions. We also recommended that rehabilitation clinicians examine PwSCI’s resilience levels and types of resilience during initial and follow-up visits. In doing so, PwSCI will have timely, targeted supports for developing and/or re-building their resilience.

Our purpose was to identify demographic, educational, and injury-related characteristics associated with odds of employment and estimates of differential earnings among participants with spinal cord injury (SCI). Self-report assessments were obtained from 1,983 participants who had traumatic SCI, were 18+ years old, and less than 65 years of age. All were recruited into the current cross-sectional study from previous studies of health and aging from the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. Midwestern participants had 2.41 higher odds of employment. Older age at injury was associated with lower odds of employment. There were no sex differences in the odds of employment, but women had an estimated US$19,431 lower conditional earnings. Non-Hispanic Blacks had 69% lower odds of employment, and those working had an estimated US$12,058 lower earnings. Ambulatory participants had higher odds of employment (odds ratio [OR] = 4.66) and higher conditional earnings (US$17,277) than those with the most severe SCI. Those with 4-year or postgraduate degrees had substantially higher odds of employment (OR = 4.15, OR = 5.72, respectively) and higher conditional earnings (US$29,990, US$44,580, respectively) compared with those with a high school certificate or less. These findings underscore the importance of policies to promote the optimal quality employment outcomes for people with SCI.
