Objective
To characterize individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) who use outpatient physical therapy or community wellness services for locomotor training and predict the duration of services, controlling for demographic, injury, quality of life, and service and financial characteristics. We explore how the duration of services is related to locomotor strategy.
Design
Observational study of participants at 4 SCI Model Systems centers with survival. Weibull regression model to predict the duration of services.
Setting
Rehabilitation and community wellness facilities at 4 SCI Model Systems centers.
Participants
Eligibility criteria were SCI or dysfunction resulting in motor impairment and the use of …
