Abstract

Monitoring a range of physiological parameters in SCI patients during extended periods of daily activity and during therapy in rehabilitation raises a no of practical issues. A totally portable system with sensors and data logger can provide a clinically useful monitoring system for SCI to study the behaviour of physiological parameters during rehabilitation allows it to be prescribed and optimised to match the individual patient´s needs. Issues affecting our study will be illustrated by looking at results in the most compromised tetraplegic group
