Rehabilitation Interventions to modify endocrine-metabolic disease risk in Individuals with chronic Spinal cord injury living in the Community (RIISC): A systematic review and scoping perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Endocrine-metabolic disease (EMD) risk following spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with significant multi-morbidity (i.e. fracture, diabetes, heart disease), mortality, and economic burden. It is unclear to what extent rehabilitation interventions can modify EMD risk and improve health status in community-dwelling adults with chronic SCI.

Objectives

To characterize rehabilitation interventions and summarize evidence on their efficacy/effectiveness to modify precursors to EMD risk in community-dwelling adults with chronic SCI.

Methods

Systematic searches of MEDLINE PubMed, EMBASE Ovid, CINAHL, CDSR, and PsychInfo were completed. All randomized, quasi-experimental, and prospective controlled trials comparing rehabilitation/therapeutic interventions with con
