Prognostic indicators in metastatic spinal cord compression: using functional independence measure and Tokuhashi scale to optimize rehabilitation planning
Abstract
Study design:Retrospective, descriptive study.Objective:To determine if patients with metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) make significant functional gains through rehabilitation. To study survival and predictors of survival in MSCC. To explore predictive factors for high or low functional gains in MSCC.Setting:Inpatient neuro-oncology rehabilitation ward, Henderson General Hospital, Hamilton, Canada.Methods:Clinical records were examined …
