简要总结
To examine the effects of Physical Therapist (PT) wound care modalities (pulsed wound irrigation (PWI) + electrical stimulation (ES), PWI only, and ES only) on wound healing in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
详细描述
It is hypothesized that PWI + ES will demonstrate the greatest rate of wound healing due to the combined effect of these treatments, which positively impact several aspects of the wound healing cascade. It is hypothesized that all patients will demonstrate improved quality of life from receiving wound care treatments by Physical Therapists due to individualized education and treatments which engage patients in their wound healing process and promote self-efficacy.

结局指标
主要结局
Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) score
时间窗: Year 1
15-item objective measure designed to assess wound status and track healing - related to healing on a 1 (healed) to 5 (severe) scale to create a summative score between 13-65 with lower scores indicating progression towards healing
次要结局
- Change in The Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life measurement system (SCI-QOL) Short Form Score(Baseline and Year 1)
