2011, PM and RCitation Excerpt :Some investigators have compared functional outcomes of patients with NSCC with patients with traumatic SCI. McKinley et al [34,35] found in 2 separate studies that patients with NSCC achieved smaller functional improvements when compared with the traumatic SCI as measured by total FIM change and motor FIM change. Although greater FIM gains during rehabilitation were observed in the traumatic SCI group in both studies, this could be attributed to the significantly longer LOS in the traumatic SCI group.

2011, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :When KPS score was 40 or less for NAPs with spinal metastasis from lung cancer, Abrahm6 estimated survival at 4.4 months on average, limiting the perspectives of rehabilitation care. Finally, the relatively high rates of patients returning home after the PM&R stay indicated that independently from a functional objective or general comfort, a stay in a PM&R unit had a final vocation that needed no validation: helping caregivers provide the best conditions (eg, home accessibility, outside help) for allowing the patient to return home and thus avoid staying in a medical institution.66,84 When patients and their families, despite the drama affecting them, bring up the improvement in QOL after SEM surgery, it clearly emphasizes the relevance of active therapeutic care for these patients.55,85,86
