  1. The International Spinal Cord Injury Survey: The Way Forward
    Bickenbach J, Batistella L, Gutenbrunner C, Middleton J, Post MW, InSCI, et al.

    As a community survey of individuals living with spinal cord injury in 22 countries, representing all 6 of the World Health Organization regions, the International Spinal Cord Injury (InSCI) community survey is one of the few surveys that highlights not only basic medical issues, but also the impact of spinal cord injury (SCI) on the everyday lives of people. The InSCI survey is part of a much larger project known as the Learning Health System for SCI Initiative (LHS-SCI). The objective of this article is to highlight some of the ongoing and planned next steps at the national and international levels. The implementation phase of the LHS-SCI initiative, beginning with the publication of primary results and extending until 2023, will use the results of the InSCI survey as evidence for implementation of recommendations for improving the societal response to the needs of individuals with SCI at the national level. To illustrate the variety of implementation activities currently underway, we provide country examples from Australia, Morocco, Malaysia, and Germany to demonstrate the diversity of approaches to the implementation of InSCI data. The implementation phase of the LHS-SCI initiative promises to usher in a new era of SCI research that will be seamlessly linked to ongoing and effective implementation actions, at both international and national levels and across settings from clinical practice, health systems management, and national policy.
  2. Fulltext Evaluation of the topic lists used in two world Congresses (2015 and 2016) in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine
    Nugraha B, Paternostro-Sluga T, Schuhfried O, Stucki G, Franchignoni F, Abdul Latif L, et al.
    J Rehabil Med, 2017 Jun 28;49(6):469-474.
    PMID: 28537344 DOI: 10.2340/16501977-2232
    BACKGROUND: Evaluation of the initial list of proposed abstract topics for Congresses of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) was needed in order to ensure its feasibility for use in future congress announcements and invitations for abstract submission.

    METHODS: The initial proposals were based on 5 main areas of PRM research: biosciences in rehabilitation, biomedical rehabilitation sciences and engineering, clinical PRM sciences, integrative rehabilitation sciences, and human functioning sciences. This list became a model for structuring the abstracts for the 9th and 10th World Congresses of PRM, held in Berlin, Germany (2015) and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2016), respectively. The next step was to evaluate the implementation of this model in both congresses.

    RESULTS: It was found that the 5 main research areas were still used as the main principles (chapters) in which to organize the abstracts. However, some modifications have been made to cover topics that were not included in the initial proposal.

    CONCLUSION: A more comprehensive list of topics has been developed, not only for topic list announcements, but also for the structuring and classification of abstracts for future international, regional or national PRM congresses.
