“…However, the most common cause of SCI in nondeveloped countries was still falls. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] incidence The incidence rate represents the ratio of a new disease in a particular population during a certain period of time. With the expansion of human activities, the incidence of SCI also increased gradually ( Table 1).…”

“…Falls are the leading causes of SCI among patients over 60 years of age, and continue to increase, especially in women at home (9,21). This may be due to osteoporosis and the increased risk of falls in the elderly (22). With aging of the population in China, increasing numbers of elderly people are living alone, and thus more attention should be paid to prevent fall in the home.…”

Background: Quite a few patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are caused by falls. However, the comparison of different causes of SCI or the epidemiological characteristics of SCI caused by falls of different heights are rare. This study investigated the epidemiological characteristics of traumatic SCI caused by falls and conducted a comparison between low falls and high falls.Method: Data from traumatic SCI cases admitted to China Rehabilitation Research Center from 2010 to 2019 were collected, including age, gender, occupation, cause, level and severity of the injury, combined injuries, complications, and rehabilitation length of stay. Mann-Whitney U and Chi square (χ2) tests were used to assess the differences between two groups at a statistical significance level of 0.05.Result: Patients with fall-induced SCI were older and a longer rehabilitation length of stay than those with nonfall-induced SCI. Patients with high fall-induced SCI were younger and more likely to suffer from paraplegia, severer injuries, and combined injuries, and had longer time from injury to rehabilitation and rehabilitation length of stay, compared with patients with low fall-induced SCIs.Conclusion: Falls, especially high falls, are the primary causes of SCI. Special attention should be paid to the prevention of high falls in the working environment. Low falls are also worthy of attention due to their high incidence and constitute a considerable proportion of causes of SCI.

“…Kemandirian pasien dalam menjalankan kemampuan fungsional merupakan salah satu target yang harus dicapai pasien SCI dalam fase rehabilitasi (Bárbara-Bataller et al, 2023). Untuk mencapai tujuan perawatan pasien, dibutuhkan alat ukur yang sesuai dan dapat mengukur kemampuan fungsional pasien secara benar, terukur dan objektif.…”

This study aims to determine the use of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) III as a functional measurement tool for spinal cord injury patients in Indonesia. The method used was cross-sectional as a pilot project. The population of this study were trauma and non-traumatic spinal cord injury patients. The results of this study indicate that SCIM III can assess the patient's functional status in self-care, bladder management, bowel management, and mobilization. In conclusion, SCIM III is an objective and reliable questionnaire that can be used as a tool to measure the functional ability of SCI patients. In addition, SCIM can be used to determine interventions that are appropriate to the patient's condition so that the outcome of the rehabilitation phase of care to make the patient independent can be achieved optimally.
