“…There were 37 intervention group subjects (22%) who were nonadherent, missing on average three calls in a row three separate times over the 6-month period. All 71 intervention participants received, on average, 11 calls from the telerehabilitation coordinator (median: 9; range: 1-39), lasting an average of 4.12 min each (median: 3.67; range: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…8 Despite their growing popularity, very few have been thoroughly evaluated. 9 The CareCall system involves an IVR system to generate digitized speech over the telephone, speech recognition software, a conversation control system that directs the content and flow of individual conversations with users and a database management system for storing user information and call logs. 10 We conducted a single-blind, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of CareCall on several important secondary conditions for persons with SCD.…”

“…Tele-rehabilitation is a recently suggested method for SCI, with encouraging early results, where patients give feedback electronically and are monitored via videophone sessions [25,26]. Function was assessed, in that study, using the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) by observation before discharge from the SCI unit, and again at 6 months, but some functional tasks were assessed during the videophone sessions via interview [25,26]. Our study is the first attempt to present the people's with SCI perspective about their function rating while using a SCI-specific measure, which may add to future tele-rehabilitation.…”

“…Globalisation, the ease of transport between countries and technological developments, both demand and facilitate the conduct of cross-national, cross-cultural or international research, which is rapidly increasing, and can raise questions about singlenation studies, can inform revisions and interpretation of results between countries [21][22][23][24].

Purpose: To translate and culturally adapt the Spinal Cord Injury Measure version III (SCIM III) into Greek (GR-SCIM III). To conduct initial testing of psychometric properties of both measures by self-report. Method: Forward-backward translation was conducted to produce the GR-SCIM III. Participants completed the English or Greek versions in [2008][2009]. Both versions were examined for multidimensionality, internal consistency and concurrent/criterion validity with the EQ-5D. Results: Forty-five Greek adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) (23 males), mean age 61 (SD17) years; mean time since injury 11 (SD9) years, completed the GR-SCIM III. One hundred and seventy four English-speaking adults with SCI (111 males), mean age 47 (SD12) years; mean time since injury 12 (SD11) years, completed the SCIM III. Unidimensionality was confirmed for both versions. Internal consistency was acceptable (a ¼ 0.78 for both). Validity was strong for the ''self-care'' subscale (GR-SCIM III r ¼ À0.78, SCIM III r ¼ À0.75) and moderate for the ''mobility'' subscale (GR-SCIM III r ¼ À0.58, SCIM III r ¼ À0.45). Conclusions: This has been the first function scale translated and validated in Greek for people with SCI. Both the GR-SCIM III and SCIM III are reliable for use by self-report. More studies are needed to further examine their psychometric properties and compare with observation or interview. ä Implications for RehabilitationThe Greek version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure version III (SCIM) is valid and reliable for self-report. Further testing is needed to assess psychometric qualities not assessed in the present study. Researchers and therapists in Greece can use a specific measure to assess functional independence in people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Consideration needs to be given to the participants' type of injury, which may affect the results of SCIM III.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding in the health fi eld and triggering changes in the relationship between professionals and patients. Considering the current relevance of this issue, this study was conducted to identify the usage patterns and perceptions concerning the internet of people with acquired spinal cord injuries. Statistically signifi cant differences were found between the usage time and the infl uence of the internet before and after injury. Although the respondents' usage pattern is similar to that of the general population, some particularities were identifi ed, which require the attention of specialized rehabilitation services in order to improve service routines. Further research is recommended at different levels of care delivery. Keywords: rehabilitation, spinal cord (wounds and injury), internet, communication and technology Internet como Suporte à Pessoa com Lesão Medular: Padrões de Uso e ReabilitaçãoResumo: As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) estão em expansão na área da saúde e desencadeiam transformações nas relações profi ssional-usuário. Considerando, portanto, a relevância atual deste tema, o presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de conhecer os padrões de uso e a percepção sobre internet de pessoas com lesão medular adquirida. Constataram-se diferenças estatisticamente signifi cativas entre o tempo de uso e a infl uência da internet antes e após a lesão. Apesar de se verifi car padrão de uso similar ao da população geral, identifi caram-se especifi cidades que requerem atenção dos serviços especializados de reabilitação, no intuito de aprimorar rotinas de atendimento. Recomendamse mais pesquisas em diferentes níveis assistenciais.Palavras-chave: reabilitação, lesão medular, internet (rede de computador), comunicação e tecnologia
