“…Considering that "the presence of AIS A or AIS B neurological deficit markedly increases the risk of more severe impairments in body functions and activities and participation" [17], we suggested that patients with more severe impairments would be less likely to be vocationally active. Hence, while analysing the collected data we divided the sample into 2 subgroups: 1) with absent or severely impaired spinal cord conduction (AIS A and AIS B) -107 (63.7%) patients; and 2) with partially impaired conduction (AIS C and AIS D) -61 (36.3%) patients.…”
