Associations between self-reported upper limb motor ability, life satisfaction and life problems in people with cervical spinal cord injury from the community in the United States: a cross-sectional study

The results identified significant, modest associations between self-reported outcomes, as better fine motor ability was related to less social isolation, fewer health problems and higher life satisfaction. Further investigation into the relationship between fine motor ability, life satisfaction and life problems is warranted.

Abstract

The results identified significant, modest associations between self-reported outcomes, as better fine motor ability was related to less social isolation, fewer health problems and higher life satisfaction. Further investigation into the relationship between fine motor ability, life satisfaction and life problems is warranted.
