Active rehabilitation, spinal cord injury

Teaching

Pia has a Phd student at the Instiute of Sport and Social Sciences with the project Empowerment through Camp Spinal? Active Rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injury

She has a minor in Coaching and a master in Sports Physiotherapy from The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. Her master's thesis had the title: Reliability of three-dimensional gait analysis in adults with acquired incomplete spinal cord injury. She also has a bachelor of Physiotherapy from King's College London.

For several years, Pia has worked as a Physiotherapist at Sunnaas Hospital HF. She is a specialist in Neurological Physiotherapy and is an International Calssifier in parabob. During her period as a fellow at the Department of Coaching and Psychology, she will continue to work 20% at Sunnaas Hospital as a Physiotherapist.

Objectives: Three-dimensional gait analysis has been recommended as part of standardized gait assessment in people with spinal cord injury. The aim was to investigate inter- and intra-session reliabilities of gait kinematics in people with spinal cord injury. Methods: Fifteen adults with spinal cord injury performed two test sessions on separate days. Six infrared cameras, 16 reflective markers and the Plug-in gait model were used. For each subject, five gait trials from both sessions were included. The Gait Profile Score and the Gait Variable Score were used as kinematic outcome measures. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, minimal detectable change, and Bland–Altman plots. Results: Inter-session intraclass correlation coefficient for all variables was >0.82 and standard error of measurement <1.8°, except for hip rotation. Intra-session reliability was found to be high (≥0.78) and slightly better than that for inter-session. Minimal detectable change for all variables was <4.7°, except for hip rotation. Conclusions: The high inter- and intra-session reliabilities indicate small intrinsic variation of gait. Thus, three-dimensional gait analysis seems to be a reliable tool to evaluate kinematic gait in adults with spinal cord injury, but caution is warranted especially for hip rotation evaluation.
