“…15 The Dutch SIP68 is a short version of the original SIP, containing 68 items instead of the original 136 items, and was proven to be valid and reliable for use in persons with SCI. 16 The 68 items are divided over six subscales; somatic autonomy (SA), mobility control (MC), psychic autonomy and communication (PAC), emotional stability (ES), social behaviour (SB), and mobility range (MR).…”

Study design: Cross-sectional study. Objectives: To determine the relationship of health related functional status with lesion level and endurance capacity in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Thirty-seven men with SCI were divided in four lesion groups: high tetraplegia (motor complete; C5 ± C6, n=10), low tetraplegia (motor complete, C6/7 ± C8, n=9), motor incomplete tetraplegia (n=7), and paraplegia (n=11). Health related functional status was measured with the short version of the Sickness Impact Pro®le (SIP68), including a physical (SOM), psychological (PSY) and social subscore (SOC). Endurance capacity, de®ned as maximal power output (PO max ) and peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ), was measured in a maximal exercise test on a wheelchair ergometer. Results: Total SIP68-score and SOM were signi®cantly di erent between lesion groups, showing higher values in the high-and low-tetraplegia group. There were no di erences between lesion groups for PSY and SOC subscores. VO 2peak and PO max were signi®cantly higher in the paraplegia group, compared to the high and low tetraplegia groups. VO 2peak was also higher in the motor incomplete versus other tetraplegia groups. Signi®cant Spearman correlation coe cients were found for VO 2peak and PO max with SIP68 and SOM (ranging from 70.68 to 70.79) and SOC (ranging from 70.39 to 70.51). No signi®cant relationship was found with PSY. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that after correction for lesion level, 22% of the variance of SIP68, 8% of the variance of SOM, and 30% of the variance of SOC was explained by PO max or VO 2peak . Conclusions: Results indicate that there is an evident relationship between the physical dimensions of health related functional status and lesion level, but not for the psychological and social dimensions. After controlling for lesion level a signi®cant amount of the variance of health related functional status can be explained by endurance capacity parameters. Although no causal relationships can be established in this cross-sectional study, these results suggest that functional status may be improved by increasing the endurance capacity.

“…20,35 The SIP68 showed high correlation with physical measurements such as the Barthel ADL index (r ¼ À0.91-À0.41). 27,36 However, Post et al 27 argued that, because SIP68 correlates highly with a measure of life satisfaction, it must be measuring a broader concept than health state and self-care ability.…”

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.
