“…Most barriers to participation among wheelchair users are related to physical accessibility and built environment [17,20]. On the other hand, a recent study has indicated that individuals with incomplete SCIs who were independent ambulators reported several physical function and social barriers that affect their participation in the society [25]. Moreover, evidence suggests that ambulatory individuals experience more fatigue and daily pain compared to wheelchair users which may signi cantly affect their satisfaction with social roles and activities [26].…”

Study design:cross-sectional studyObjective: to examine the differences in satisfaction with social roles and activities among ambulatory individuals, manual wheelchair users, and power wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries (SCIs).Setting:community setting Methods:Participants completed surveys of their demographics and clinical data as well as the Spinal Cord Injury -Quality of Life Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities-Short Form. Participants' mobility status was categorized into 1) ambulatory individuals, 2) independent manual wheelchair users, and 3) power wheelchair/scooter users. One-way ANOVA and ANCOVA were used, respectively, to examine unadjusted and adjusted differences in satisfaction with social roles and activities across mobility status. Adjustment covariates included age, sex, time since SCI, and SCI injury level.Results:A total of 129 participants (mean age = 47.4 ± 13.6 years, 73 % male) were included in the analyses. Unadjusted (F = 3.8, p = 0.03) and adjusted models (F = 3.4, p = 0.04) evidenced signi cant differences in satisfaction with social roles and activities according to mobility status . Pairwise Bonferroni Post-Hoc analysis indicated that manual wheelchair users were more satis ed with their social roles and activities when compared to ambulatory individuals (mean difference = 2.8, p < 0.05).Conclusions: Due to the current challenges associated with walking recovery after SCIs, clinicians may want to discuss the use of wheelchairs with individuals with limited walking ability when the goal is to improve participation and quality of life. Emphasizing alternative means of mobility may enhance satisfaction with social roles and activities.
