Stretching after spinal cord injury: a call for evidence for this common clinical practice

Stretching after spinal cord injury: a call for evidence for this common clinical practice

Stretching is a ubiquitous rehabilitation intervention for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), intended to reduce spasticity, maintain or improve joint range of motion, and prevent joint contractures. Although people with SCI report that stretching is their preferred approach to reduce spasti...
