Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)	4 weeks	The SF-36 was originally designed as a generic health measure but has also been applied to specific disease populations. It comprises 36 questions that cover eight domains of health. Scores for the different domains are converted and pooled using a scoring key, for a total score indicating a range of low to the high quality of life. This tool will be measured after 4 weeks.
ASIA scale	4 weeks	The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale describes a person's functional impairment as a result of a Spinal Cord Injury. This scale indicates how much sensation a person feels after light touch and a pinprick at multiple points on the body and tests key motions on both sides of the body. This tool will be measured after 4 weeks.
Spine Dysfunction, Stress & Sensory-Motor Integration Questionnaire (SSSMQ)	4 weeks	The SSSMQ is a newly developed tool to assess Spine Dysfunction Characteristics, logical and Psychological Stress Symptoms, and Multimodal and Sensorimotor Integration Dysfunction Symptoms. A baseline assessment of a participant will be done before the start of the intervention. This tool will be measured after 4 weeks.
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)	4 weeks	The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an instrument that was developed as a measure of disability for a variety of populations and is not specific to any diagnosis. FIM is comprised of 18 items, grouped into 2 subscales - motor and cognition. Each item is scored on a 7 point ordinal scale, ranging from a score of 1 to a score of 7. The higher the score, the more independent the patient is in performing the task associated with that item. This tool will be measured after 4 weeks.
