简要总结
Feasibility of Home-Based Rehabilitation on Body Composition, some Anthropometric Measures and Muscular Strength after interruption 4-5 years of Spinal Cord Injury: Serial Cases Study on ISIS War Survivors in Iraq
Summary Background: The war in Mosul wrecked hospitals and rehab centers, leaving a gap in rehabilitation services. This resulted in a need for alternative solutions for rehabilitation. Objectives: This study aims to create a home-based rehabilitation program (HBRP) that fits the participants' surroundings, and also detect and evaluate how effective it is in improving body composition, some anthropometric measurements, and muscle strength after a (4-5) year break in rehabilitation.
Methods: This voluntary controlled trial included 18 volunteers split into three groups: 13 people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) their injuries time since (53.4-55) months. They joined voluntarily into Two groups, Eight in the experimental group (Exp.) and Five in the first control (1st Con.); while Five were healthy individuals in the second control (2nd Con.); all around (21.2) years old on average. The HBRP focused on muscles and whole-body joints by using the basic equipment and exercises right at the patient's homes. The program consisted of five weekly sessions with a gradually increasing achievement time of (45-120) minutes per session, participants were given rest time between exercises based on their level and severity of injury. The assessment was every three months.

The program consisted of five weekly sessions with a gradually increasing achievement time of (45-120) minutes per session, participants were given rest time between exercises based on their level and severity of injury. The assessment was every three months.
Innovatively, this study stands out by introducing an HBRP tailored for individuals with SCI after interruption sustained (4 - 5) years ago. This unique approach not only addresses the challenges posed by the interruption of previous rehabilitation efforts but also seeks to uncover the efficacy of rehabilitation in these specific circumstances.

盲法说明
There were two control groups in this study, the first were people with SCI who only conducted the pre-post1 and post2-tests, additionally, the second group were healthy people also they just conducted the pre-post1 and post2-tests. The authors used these groups to control the changes which may happen with time which could affect the results

结局指标
主要结局
Weight
时间窗: The period of trial was 6-month. At the beginning before starting the author conducted the pre-tests and after finished 3-month repeated all tests as a post1-test, and at the end of 6-month from the HBRP the author repeated all tests as a post2-test
It used weight by using the electronic scale if the patient can stand up or can not hold him/her by another person and calculate the weight by subtracting the person's weight from the sum of the weight of both. The unit measure was Kilogram (kg)
Anthropometric Measures (Waist/Abdomen, Pelvis, Both Thigh, Both Legs Circumferences)
时间窗: The period of trial was 6-month. At the beginning before starting the author conducted the pre-tests and after finished 3-month repeated all tests as a post1-test, and at the end of 6-month from the HBRP the author repeated all tests as a post2-test
Ii used the tap measure to determine the circumferences of the Abdomen,/waist, Pelvis, Right and Left Thigh, and Right and Left Leg as anthropometric measures. The unit measure was centimeter (cm).
The muscle strength of the lower limbs, head and Trunk
时间窗: The period of trial was 6-month. At the beginning before starting the author conducted the pre-tests and after finished 3-month repeated all tests as a post1-test, and at the end of 6-month from the HBRP the author repeated all tests as a post2-test
The physical tests were conducted using a handheld muscle tester called MicroFET2 to evaluate the strength of participants' lower extremities, head, and trunk by using unit measure kilogram (kg) from positions (lying-down, supine, on the ground and in the bed)
Body mass index (BMI)
时间窗: The period of trial was 6-month. At the beginning before starting the author conducted the pre-tests and after finished 3-month repeated all tests as a post1-test, and at the end of 6-month from the HBRP the author repeated all tests as a post2-test
It used the criteria of BMI according to WHO
