Prospective study. ⋯ Multidisciplinary, outpatient rehabilitation programs are recommended as a safe and an effective post-injury rehabilitation for AIS A SCI patients. Such programs may complement inpatient rehabilitation and promote functional recovery. Multidisciplinary outpatient programs are effective in achieving long-term independence in SCI patients and reducing the cost of care for developing countries. This study suggests that high cervical injuries benefit more from inpatient programs.
