    Advances in health care science allow more people with spinal cord injuries to live to old age. The purpose of this study was to determine those factors that contribute to the well-being of middle-aged and elderly spinal cord-injured people. One hundred spinal cord-injured people, ranging in age from 40 to 73 years, completed an extensive structured interview. In general, respondents reported a degree of well-being on the same measures of satisfaction and depression that was slightly lower than that of similarly aged nondisabled people. Pearson correlations indicated that people experiencing high levels of well-being reported high levels of perceived control, had higher levels of social support, and judged their health status to be good. These people also viewed their disability more favorably, tended to have higher incomes and more education, were employed, and were more religious than those indicating lower levels of well-being. The severity of the spinal cord injury was not correlated highly with subjective well-being, although there was a tendency for those with greater disability to report lower levels of well-being. People who were younger, who incurred their disability at a younger age, and who blamed themselves and felt they could have avoided the injury also tended to report higher levels of well-being.

    This study was performed to identify the ability for individuals to adjust following spinal cord injury and acute rehabilitation treatment using the PAIS, the psychological adjustment to illness scale. Although this article is dated 1991- I feel that it has extreme relevance to the population. Specifically results of this study were extremely variable, some individuals were able to adjust without difficulty while others reported extreme difficulty with the major life change. I feel that this can be applicable to any traumatic injury--even outside of spinal cord in that experiences and adaption can be very individualized and should be approached as such. (Exactly why OT's approach to individuality and looking at the person as a whole is so crucial following a traumatic injury)

    PSYCHOSOCIAL:Assessments measuring quality of life in individuals with spinal cord injury is lacking. The author of this article looks at quality of life consisting of 3 components: quality of life as a subjective well-being, quality of life as a utility, and quality of life as achievement. For those with spinal cord injury, they experience so many changes in their environment, affecting every aspect of life. For many, they become depressed, are not hopeful, and have even committed suicide. This article suggest ways in which quality of life can be assessed, which can assist the therapist in developing treatment plans which fulfill not only the client's physical needs, but their mental and social needs as well.

    Researchers looked at whether client centered OT effected patients with spinal cord injury. Using the FIM, Role Checklist and Craig Handicap Reporting and Assessment Technique, they found that the OT group took on a limited number of new roles and there was no significant difference.

    Promoting functional hand activities is a crucial rehabilitation goal for persons with tetraplegic spinal cord injury (SCI) [1-4]. Some people with mid- to low-level cervical (C) SCI achieve useful tenodesis grasp, which is opposition of the thumb and the index and middle fingers through reciprocal wrist extension and finger flexion, with the aid of a wrist-driven flexor hinge orthosis (WDFHO) [5-6].

    This article provides a nice overview of occupational therapy intervention for individuals with a spinal cord injury. It discusses various intervention strategies, as well as different occupations and client factors that will likely need to be addressed by the therapist.
