Development of a Novel Evaluation Scale of Mental Body Representation (MBR) for Adults With Spinal Cord Injury

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) Develop a new evaluation scale for mental body representations (MBR, i.e., body awareness and visuospatial body maps) for adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) with and without neuropathic pain. (2) Assess the psychometric properties of usability, reliability, and validity of the new evaluation scale This is a cross-sectional observational study design. For Aim 1, this study will involve initial item generation for a novel MBR evaluation scale for SCI through email communication, and individual interviews proctored remotely through Zoom, or, if preferred by the participant, in-person. For Aim 2, the study will include a Zoom call for consenting and questionnaires, as well as an in-person visit where participants will be tested with the new SCI-BodyMap evaluation scale, and a questionnaire asking about the usability and satisfaction of the new evaluation scale.
