Is the Ability to Ambulate Associated With Better Employment Outcomes in Participants With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury?

^* To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: Krause{at}musc.edu.

	Abstract

The author compares current employment status after spinal cord injury between participants who were independent in ambulation (required no assistance from others) and those who were dependent in ambulation (required assistance from at least one other person to ambulate). Those who were independent of assistance from others in ambulation were significantly more likely to be employed. Rehabilitation counselors should consider the special needs and circumstances of those who ambulate with assistance.
