A survey on functional ability, perceived exertion, and employment was mailed to 190 individuals with spinal cord lesion. Analysis is based on the 91 completed replies.
To establish a database of individuals with spinal cord lesions and to assess the effectiveness of training programs designed to improve life quality and employment chances among the individuals with spinal cord lesion.
Subjects selected from the Spinal Cord Injury Association of the Republic of China (SCIAROC) and from the Asylum Center Spinal Cord Injury (ASCCI) in Taiwan.
Information was obtained from a survey sent to the subjects who are chosen randomly from the SCIAROC and from all the subjects through ACSCI training program.
Respondents in ACSCI had a higher functional activity level and lower perceived exertion during activities than those in SCIAROC. The employment status is related to the functional independence and level of injury.
The database provides information on functional and employment status of individuals with spinal cord lesion. The present study also demonstrates the efficacy of a vocational training program for individuals with spinal cord lesion in Taiwan.
一项关于功能能力、主观用力程度和就业情况的调查被邮寄给190名脊髓损伤患者。分析基于91份完整回复。
建立脊髓损伤患者数据库，并评估旨在提高脊髓损伤患者生活质量和就业机会的培训项目的有效性。
从中华民国脊髓损伤协会（SCIAROC）和台湾庇护中心脊髓损伤中心（ASCCI）选取受试者。
通过向从SCIAROC随机选取的受试者以及所有参加ASCCI培训项目的受试者发送调查问卷来获取信息。
与SCIAROC的受试者相比，ASCCI的受访者在活动期间具有更高的功能活动水平和更低的主观用力程度。就业状况与功能独立性和损伤程度有关。
该数据库提供了脊髓损伤患者的功能和就业状况信息。本研究还证明了台湾针对脊髓损伤患者的职业培训项目的有效性。
