Note: Years post injury is the midpoint of the grouping with 2.5 years on either side of the midpoint (eg, the 10-year interval assessments were completed between 7.6 and 12.4 years post injury). SCIMS = Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems.

^aWhile there have been 6,001 assessments conducted, there were 59 participants with missing data on year of injury that are not represented in this table.
