Effectiveness of Planned Demonstration on “Log Rolling and Range of Motion Exercises” on Performance Score among the Caregivers of Spinal Trauma Patients
Abstract: The disability rate among patients with spinal cord injury is high. Log rolling and range of motion (ROM) exercises are essential to prevent bedsores and contractures. The caregivers of these patients need to be aware about these two important procedures. Therefore, this study was carried out in the neurosurgery unit of a tertiary care hospital. Two standardized tools, i.e., “ASIA (American Spinal Injury Assessment) grading scale” and “Muscle Strength Scale” …
