Spinal injury patients reveal top priorities for daily independence
NCT ID NCT07237035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study surveyed 56 adults with spinal cord injury in Türkiye to find out which everyday activities—like eating, bathing, or using a wheelchair—they value most and how independent they hope to become. Participants rated each activity on a 0–10 scale and stated their personal independence goals. The results help rehabilitation teams focus on what truly matters to patients.
