The Impact of an Evidence-Informed Spinal Cord Injury Activities of Daily Living Educational Manual
About this trial
This is a trial to test the effect of using an educational resource called the “Spinal Cord Injury Activities of Daily Living Educational Manual” in individuals with recent spinal cord injuries. The manual includes 5 chapters of text and illustrations focused on 1) the rehabilitation team, 2) activities of daily living, 3) assistive devices, 4) home environment adaptation, and 5) basic knowledge about SCI. Participants will receive conventional therapy with or without using the manual.
