While treatment strategies for OH have been identified for use in persons with acute SCI, the
field of SCI medicine lacks a gold standard for treatment thresholds and well-defined outcome
parameters. Comprehensively documenting the impact of orthostatic hypotension (OH),
regardless of symptoms, during acute rehabilitation and identifying the effects of two
different treatment approaches on therapy participation and adherence to an intended
rehabilitation plan could have a significant impact on clinical practice in the acute
rehabilitation setting following SCI.
