J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(2):265–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2010.08.0156 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2010.08.0156JSP Aim – Determine whether Case Western Reserve University-Department of Veterans Affairs (CWRU-VA) implanted 8-channel standing and transfer neuroprosthesis improved quality of life (QOL) for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Relevance – Interventions that decrease barriers to mobility and participation can significantly affect perceived QOL.

J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(2):265–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2010.08.0156 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2010.08.0156JSP Results: Themes Increased QOL. Improved health status. Decreased spasticity. Improved psychological/emotional well-being. Value/worth. Increased mobility. Increased function in leisure/social settings. Being more “normal” or “more like others.” Ease of activities of daily living/decreased need for caregivers. Enhanced ability to work. No quick fix.
