NBCOT Study
Question | Answer |
---|---|
C1-C3 | Expected functional outcome after SCI: • ventilator dependent • total physical assistance for BADL & IADL • able to direct care needs |
C4 | • initially ventilator dependent; progress to breathing independently with reduced vital capacity • total physical assistance for BADL & IADL • able to direct care needs • power wheelchair • total assistance for bed mobility and transfers |
C5 | • independent respiratory function with reduced vital capacity; may need assistance fo cough • total assistance for bowel and bladder management • independent self-feeding with devices • assistance for grooming with devices • total assist for bathing |
C6 | • independent respiratory function with reduced vital capacity; assistance cough • min to total assist for bowel/bladder • for for ADL, transfers and bed mobility w devices, and outdoor wheelchair propulsion in a manual chair • total assist for stand |
C7-T1 | • independent respiratory function • assistance for bowel management • modified independence for basic ADL • some assistance for standing • modified independence for bed mobility and transfer • independent driving with modifications |
T2-T12 | • independent to modified independence for basic ADL • modified independence for bowel and bladder management • modified independence for bed mobility, transfer, and standing • independent wheelchair mobility |
L1-L5 | • independent in ADL and bed mobility • ambulate with assistive devices • may use wheelchair for distance; independent with loading and unloading from the vehicle • independent driving with hand controls |
