Research on non-invasive monitoring of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the myotendinous complex in patients with paraplegia post spinal cord injury (SCI), in sub-acute period, in order to streamline the neurorecovery proces - A systematic literature review
The disabling nature of SCI influences the most important aspects of a patient`s life in the long term, but also their quality of life, thus placing an important responsibility on the medical staff to achieve a satisfactory level of recovery and reintegration into society[2].

| Summary: | The disabling nature of SCI influences the most important aspects of a patient`s life in the long term, but also their quality of life, thus placing an important responsibility on the medical staff to achieve a satisfactory level of recovery and reintegration into society[2]. We hope that with the results of this study we will bring valuable information for the design of a monitoring plan of the pathophysiological status of the myotendinous complex using MyotonPro in patients with paraplegia, before and after passive mobilization of the limbs with the Motomed Letto device. We previously carried out a systematic review of the related literature through the method of filtering and selecting profile documentary material, widely used and accepted at the international level: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Thus, we searched, using contextually, combinations/syntaxes of search keywords in the following international databases: Elsevier, PubMed, PMC, PEDro, articles published in English in ISI indexed journals Web of Knowledge/Science, during 01.01.2021-31.12.2023. The evolution of the patients will be measured, both through direct observation and through the favorable dynamic evolution of the scores of the quantification scales used: AIS-American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, MRC scale-Medical Research Council scale, ROM- Range of Motion, VAS – Visual Analogue Scale, ADL-Activities of Daily Living, SCIM-Spinal Cord Independence Measure, Functional Classification Scales-FIM+FAC, The World Health Organization Quality of Life-WHOQOL -BREF. Through this research, which is part of the doctoral study, we hope to bring important data about the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the myotendinous complex, which in the future will help us optimize, streamline and personalize the neurorecovery program in patients with paraplegia after spinal cord injury. |
