简要总结
This study investigates if, patients with diagnosed chronic spinal cord injury will benefit from an Indoor Curling Exercise program on their control capabilities of trunk movements and on their intrinsic motivation for physical activity. Half of participants will receive 8 training-sessions during 4 weeks, while the other will receive usual care.
详细描述
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a catastrophic event that can be devastating and costly in human and social terms. These patients require multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary treatment. Physiotherapy is important factor in SCI rehabilitation.
The objectives of physiotherapists are manifold and include the development of the force of healthy muscles, the teaching of transfer techniques, the maintenance of joint motion and of the body map, and the reestablishment of sitting balance in order for the patients to regain their autonomy.
Maintaining postural stability when seated is a challenge for people with a SCI as their sensory and motor systems in their trunk, lower and upper extremities have been damaged to different degrees. To train this postural stability, physiotherapists include many interventions. Physical activities in sport therapy are some of them. In addition to usual physical activities (basketball, tennis, wheelchair running,...) the investigators propose to practice wheelchair Indoors Curling Exercise with wooden Curling Stones.
