Assessment of quality of life and psychologic status in chronic-phase patients with cervical spinal cord injury: Correlation with clinical symptoms and evaluation tools
JOACMEQ scores significantly correlated with bodily symptoms and established QOL and mental health measures. Furthermore, the JOACMEQ showed good internal consistency in this study. Compared with conventional assessment methods, the JOACMEQ is a simpler instrument for assessing quality of life, including psychologic status, in patients with cervical SCI.
