Services for spinal cord injured: availability and satisfaction

This article discusses service delivery for Spinal Cord Injured (SCI) in the Netherlands. In this wealthy country, almost everyone has access to domestic adaptations and other equipment, regardless of income and with low, or without user contributions. However, satisfaction with this system or its products is rarely examined. Subjects in this research are 318 SCI individuals between 18 and 65 years of age, living in the community at a mean time of 3.6 years after injury. Availability of accessible housing, domestic adaptations, wheelchairs and outdoor transportation is investigated. Satisfaction with available services and satisfaction with service delivery procedures is measured by self-developed questionnaires. Relationships between these satisfaction scores and measures for functional health status (SIP68) and life satisfaction (LSQ) are analyzed. The presence of domestic adaptations is high, and 78.3% said their houses were suciently adapted at the time of the interview. Wheelchairs were generally available and most respondents had more than one. However, many users had complaints about their wheelchairs: 35.9% about their manual wheelchairs and 47.5% about their electric wheelchairs. Public transport was rarely used, 51.1% of respondents had an adapted car. Having an adapted car was signi®cantly related to the ability to drive independently. Satisfaction with available services was acceptable, but satisfaction with service delivery procedures was very low. Satisfaction with available services did have a signi®cant relationship with functional health status when the in¯uence of the type of injury was taken into account. Satisfaction with available services also had a signi®cant relationship with life satisfaction, after the in¯uence of functional health status was taken into account. Further research on this topic is recommended.

“…While the precise formal method of item generation was rarely specified (exceptionally, originators of the WISCI specify using a modified Delphi technique 36 ), the majority of instruments were devised by health care providers. Only the SIP68 appeared to have involved patients and their carers 44 in the initial process. Two instruments (WISCI, 36 SCI-FAI 43 ) used blinded ratings of videotaped footage of patients to aid consensus within a research team, after a list of candidate items had been produced.…”

A structured review of outcome measures used for the assessment of rehabilitation interventions for spinal cord injury

Objectives: To review the measurement properties of outcome measures of function or mobility currently used in the context of spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A keyword search of multiple databases to identify original papers. Papers were reviewed where they had included an evaluation, of people with SCI, of the psychometric properties of an outcome measure, which included functional or mobility domains. Information was extracted concerning item generation, ease and intended method of use and scale properties, in particular: reliability, validity and responsiveness. Conclusions were reached concerning the psychometric properties of each instrument. Results: Eight outcome measures were identified (plus adapted versions). Five had originally been developed specifically for evaluating patients with SCI (chiefly reflecting clinicians' perspectives), the remaining three had not. The psychometric properties of the instruments varied, with some mixed/ contradictory evidence likely relating to differing study sample sizes, characteristics and variable quality. Instruments also varied in stated purpose or emphasis. Conclusion: In addition to weighing evidence concerning measurement properties, users need to consider the stated purpose and item content of instruments in relation to their specific aims. With regard to the former, while reviewed instruments had some flaws, the Spinal cord Independence Measure (revised version III), Quadriplegia Index of Function (Short-form), Needs Assessment Checklist and SIP68 appeared the best, despite limited evidence of their responsiveness.

“…Many generic [2][3][4][5][6][7] and disease-specific measurement instruments [8][9][10][11][12] do provide a measurement of limitations perceived by such patients, but they do not provide a detailed measurement of limitations in walking. Some instruments do provide such a measurement, but those measurements usually result from a patient's timed performance on a test.…”

ABSTRACT. Roorda LD, Roebroeck ME, van Tilburg T, Molenaar IW, Lankhorst GJ, Bouter LM, and the Measuring Mobility Study Group. Measuring activity limitations in walking: development of a hierarchical scale for patients with lower-extremity disorders who live at home. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2005;86:2277-83.Objective: To develop a hierarchical scale that measures activity limitations in walking in patients with lower-extremity disorders who live at home.Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Orthopedic workshops and outpatient clinics of secondary and tertiary care centers.Participants: Patients (Nϭ981; mean age Ϯ standard deviation, 58.6Ϯ15.4y; 46% men) living at home, with different lower-extremity disorders: stroke, poliomyelitis, osteoarthritis, amputation, complex regional pain syndrome type I, and diabetic and degenerative foot disorders.Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures:(1) Fit of the monotone homogeneity model, indicating whether items can be used for measuring patients; (2) fit of the double monotonicity model, indicating invariant (hierarchical) item ordering; (3) intratest reliability, indicating repeatability of the sum score; (4) robustness, addressing the clinimetric properties within subgroups of patients; and (5) differential item functioning, addressing the validity of comparisons between subgroups of patients.Results: Thirty-five of 41 dichotomous items had (1) good fit of the monotone homogeneity model (coefficient Hϭ.50), (2) good fit of the double monotonicity model (coefficient H T ϭ.33), (3) good intratest reliability (coefficient ϭ.95), (4) satisfactory robustness (within subgroups of patients defined by age, sex, and diagnosis), and (5) some differential item functioning (6 items in amputees compared with nonamputees).Conclusions: A hierarchical scale, with excellent scaling characteristics, was developed to measure activity limitations in walking in patients with lower-extremity disorders who live at home. The measurements should be interpreted cautiously when making comparisons between amputees and nonamputees.
