To our knowledge, no study has quantitatively assessed sleep, which plays an important role in the consolidation of motor learning, using sleep electroencephalography (EEG) and examined its association with improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). This study aims to clarify the relationship between sleep variables and functional outcomes in patients with SCI admitted to a musculoskeletal disease ward, using sleep variables derived from sleep EEG and an ADL measure that accounts for ceiling effects.

exploration of prognostic factors
SCIM effectiveness, calculated as (SCIM score at discharge - SCIM score at admission) / (100 - SCIM score at admission).
A) Correlations between SCIM effectiveness and the following variables:
- Sleep variables: sleep latency, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset (WASO), arousal index (ArI), duration and percentage of each sleep stage, and REM latency
- Subjective sleep quality: Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [Doi et al., 2000]
- Anxiety and depressive symptoms: Japanese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [Hatta et al., 1998]
- Motor and sensory function: International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI)
B) Correlations among the above variables

This is a single-center prospective observational study. A total of 50 patients with spinal cord injury admitted to National Hospital Organization Murayama Medical Center will be enrolled. Sleep EEG will be recorded using a portable EEG device (InSomnograf) within 2 weeks after admission, and sleep variables will be calculated. The PSQI and HADS will be assessed during the same period. The SCIM III and ISNCSCI will be assessed at admission and discharge, and SCIM effectiveness will be calculated. The association between sleep variables and SCIM effectiveness will be examined using correlation and multivariable analyses. No intervention will be performed.
