Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background Online training for the rehabilitation of People with Spinal Cord injuries (PwSCI) is necessary. Various environmental barriers create challenges in transferring and transporting these individuals out of the home to participate in face-to-face interventions. Furthermore, these challenges were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic in the past. Study Design: A single-blind randomized controlled trial. Objectives This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of online wheelchair mobility and transfer training, on the level of performance and satisfaction in PwSCI. Setting: SCI associations and hospitals and clinical centers. Methods The PwSCI were randomly divided into an online training group (OTG) and a control group (CG). The OTG received online training during 5 group sessions for five weeks. The results were analyzed to compare changes in occupational performance level and satisfaction after the intervention, and one month later. Results 37 (CG = 18 and OTG = 19) out of 49 participants completed the 5-week intervention and follow-up assessments. The average age of participants in the CG was 35.0 years, and the OTG was 33.7 years. We found a significant increase in performance (p < 0.001) and satisfaction (p < 0.001) within the OTG during the pre-post assessment. There were also significant differences in performance (p < 0.026) and satisfaction (p < 0.015) between groups. Conclusion The results showed that online wheelchair mobility and transfer training can be a suitable method for telerehabilitation and training PwSCI.
