Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of lesion level and completeness on activities of daily living(ADL) of patients with spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods The functional status of 313 SCI patients were assessed using the Functional Independence Measurement(FIM),and FIM scores were calculated for statistical analysis with different lesion levels and completeness.Results FIM scores presented significant differences among cervical-level group,thoracic-level group and lumbar-level group(P<0.05～0.01).Patient with a high lesion level had lower FIM score.In the same lesion level group,FIM scores presented significant differences between the incomplete SCI patients and the complete ones(P<0.05～0.01).However,the lumbar lesion patients had no significant differences in FIM score between the complete group and the incomplete group(P>0.05).Conclusion FIM can objectively reflect the ADL level in SCI patients with different lesion level and completeness.
