Spinal Cord Injury Lab
When: Thursday April 23rd 3:00-4:30pm
Where: Vancouver Island Tech Park (#3161 – 4464 Markham Street) In-person
Dx Criteria: To facilitate the learning objectives in the session, we are ideally looking for patient partners with complete SCI at the Paraplegic Level (T spine level T3-T10 AIS A).
Tasks in lab: Ideally, we would be asking the patient partners to demonstrate sliding board transfers from w/c to plinth, rolling on plinth, supine lie – sit, sitting balance activities on a mat. The patient partners should be aware that students may ask to perform a motor or sensory assessment on them and feel things like ROM and spasticity if the patient partner is comfortable with this and consents. Students in the lab will be supervised by two registered physiotherapists, as well as one of our faculty members.
Compensation: Volunteer patient partners are given a small gift card for their time.
