A scoping review identifies gaps in upper limb splinting guidelines for spinal cord injury, suggesting improvements are needed.
Considerable heterogeneity amongst the UL splinting literature and guidelines for SCI rehabilitation exists, with sub-optimal reporting of recommendation for the interventions. Studies were limited by weak methodological designs and small samples sizes, highlighting the need for high-quality mixed-methods trials that have been co-designed by patient and clinical stakeholders. There is a need to develop more robust clinical guidelines specifically for SCI rehabilitation.
