<![CDATA[Background: Paraplegia defined as near total dysfunction of the entire or part of the trunk and both lowerlimbs, caused by lesions of the thoracic or lumbar spinal cord or cauda equina. 43% of SCI results inparaplegia for thoracic, lumbar, or sacral lesion. The purpose of physical therapy management is to makethe patient relaxed and to achieve pre-ambulatory preparations, pre-ambulatory activities and ambulationactivities.Methods/Design: The study will be designed as experimental study. Total 60 participants will be selectedas per inclusion and exclusion criteria from AVBRH, Sawangi Meghe for the study. The duration of studywill 6 months with intervention. Physiotherapy intervention includes respiratory care, skin protection,range of motions and early reinforcement, early mobility activity, bed mobility skills, transfer activitiesand wheelchair skills. ASIA Impairment Scale, Functional Independent Measure, Wheelchair Skill Test,WHOQOL-BREF will be major outcome measure for the patient.Discussion: The study protocol details, in people with SCI the intervention strategy selected is largely basedon the amount of preserved motor function. Independence in functional skills in patients with completemotor SCI (ASIA A and B) is largely achieved through compensatory mechanisms and interventions aredeveloped accordingly. Expected outcome from the study will be the effects of early pre-ambulatory trainingon functional mobility skills and quality of life in low paraplegia.]]>
