Published Article by Faiza Qureshi and Sue Ann Sisto as co-authors
Faiza Qureshi, Ph.D. Candidate and Sue Ann Sisto, Director of Rehabilitation Research and Movement Performance (RRAMP) Laboratory, as co-authors, published a new article, "Reliability of the International Spinal Cord Injury Musculoskeletal Basic Data Set" in 2016.
Abstract
Study design: Psychometric study.
Objectives: To determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability and content validity of the International Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Musculoskeletal Basic Data Set (ISCIMSBDS). Setting: Four centers with one in each of the countries in Australia, England, India and the United States of America.
Methods: A total of 117 participants with a C2 to S1 neurological level and American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A to D injury were recruited. The median (interquartile range) time since injury was 9 years (2–29). Fifty-seven participants were assessed by the same assessor, and 60 participants were assessed by two different assessors on two different occasions to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability, respectively. Kappa statistics or crude agreement was used to measure reliability. Content validity was assessed through focus group interviews of people with SCI and health-care professionals.
Result: The intra-rater reliability ranged from κ=0.62 to 1.00 and crude agreement from 75% to 100% for each of the variables on the ISCIMSBDS. The inter-rater reliability ranged from κ=− 0.25 to 1.00, with a diverse crude agreement ranging from 0% to 100%. The inter-rater reliability was unsatisfactory for the following variables: ‘Date of fracture’, ‘Fragility fractures’, ‘Scoliosis, method of assessment’, ‘Other musculoskeletal problems’ and ‘Do any of the above musculoskeletal challenges interfere with your activities of daily living (transfers, walking, dressing, showers, etc.)?’. Results from validity discussions implied no major suggestions for changes.
Conclusion: Overall, the ISCIMSBDS is reliable and valid, although 5 of the 12 variables may benefit from further refinement. Spinal Cord advance online publication, 3 May 2016; doi:10.1038/sc.2016.42

Stony Brook Earthstock Event, Friday, April 22, 2016
The HRS PhD program hosted a table at Earthstock to distribute information including facts about the ADA; contact info for Disability Support Services,; information on DSS's "Buddy" volunteer program. Two PhD student volunteers from the SHTM spoke to students about the "Health and Rehabiliation Sciences/Disability Student Track" program as well as distributing awareness buttons and collecting names of people interested in assisting with the President's ADA Committee efforts (otherwise known as volunteers!).
Here are some photos of doctoral student Cassandra Evans helping with the Disability Awareness table at Stony Brook Earthstock on Friday.

NEW SBU HIGH-TECH REHABILITATION RESEARCH LABORATORY TO HELP INDIVIDUALS WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES, MAJOR DISEASES
7,000 Square Foot RRAMP Laboratory Slated for Completion Later in 2009
STONY BROOK, N.Y., March 31, 2009 - Administrators and faculty from the Stony Brook University School of Health
| Richard Johnson, PT, Clinical Associate Professor and Chair, Division of Rehabilitation Sciences, SBU School of Health Technology and Management (SHTM); Sue Ann Sisto, PT, MA, PhD, Research Director, Division of Rehabilitation Sciences; Shirley Strum Kenny, President, Stony Brook University; Craig Lehmann, Ph.D., Dean, SHTM, Interim Executive Dean, SBU Health Sciences Center; Barbara Chernow, Vice President, SBU Facilities & Services; Michael Murray, Assistant Director of Design, FD&C; Andrew Narus, Vice President, Hirani Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc.; Yumi Yoshino-Hempel, Project Architectural Designer, and Martin Ryan, Project Manager. |
Technology and Management (SHTM) gathered in the center of what will be a high-technology laboratory dedicated to rehabilitation research at a March 11 groundbreaking ceremony. The 7,000 square foot facility, called the Rehabilitation Research and Movement Performance (RRAMP) Laboratory, will be the first facility of its kind on Long Island. RRAMP will pool the expertise of SBU rehabilitation, medical and engineering researchers to find innovative ways to improve the health and mobility of individuals experiencing physical and cognitive disabilities.
To be run by the SHTM, the laboratory will be located in SBU's Research and Development Park and is expected to be completed before the 2009-10 academic year. Researchers from disciplines within the Health Sciences, as well as from the Schools of Medicine and Engineering, will collaborate at RRAMP to analyze patients' difficulties with walking and other mobility problems, with the expectation of designing diagnostic and treatment solutions to their problems through technological means.
"This highly sophisticated laboratory will be a first for Stony Brook Health Sciences," said Craig Lehmann, Ph.D., Dean, SHTM, and Interim Executive Dean, Health Sciences Center. "The lab will be an important aspect to growing the research component of many Health Sciences Center programs."
"Over the next five years, we expect to develop RRAMP into a flourishing regional research center that will help thousands in the area stricken with neurological diseases, orthopedic disorders or debilitating injuries," said Sue Ann Sisto, P.T., M.A., Ph.D., Professor and Research Director, Division of Rehabilitation Sciences, SHTM. "The technological capacity of the lab in concert with the broad medical expertise available through the medical center will enhance the rehabilitation of patients with serious injuries and diseases."
"We are excited about this high-tech laboratory, which will enable important discoveries that will affect the lives of many patients over time," added Shirley Strum Kenny, President, Stony Brook University.
Dr. Sisto said that research teams at RRAMP will be made up of faculty across numerous SBU Schools, as well as experts from Brookhaven National Laboratory. There will be research teams for spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Huntington's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and for amputations, orthopedic disorders, sports injuries, pediatric diseases such as cerebral palsy and pediatric cancers, as well as geriatric disorders, cardiovascular disease and obesity-related conditions.
Built into the floor within the center of the lab (groundbreaking photo location) will be force plates designed to capture ground reaction forces during gait/walking. Other built-in technologies will measure kinetics of wheelchair propulsion and orchestrate 3D computer imaging to measure position and movement. Electrodes will measure muscle activation patterns and will be synchronized with the imaging and kinetic data to give a detailed picture of movement patterns. Other computer-based systems will also help researchers measure metabolic rates, brain activation patterns, body comparison and other physiological and performance measurements of individuals.
The Division of Rehabilitation Sciences at the Stony Brook University School of Health Technology and Management (SHTM) includes the Departments of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training and Adapted Aquatics. The Division educates students based on research evidence on topics that impact clinical practices in the Rehabilitation Sciences. Division faculty engage in advanced research, much of which will involve the new Rehabilitation Research and Movement Performance (RRAMP) Laboratory.
