Varying injury level and severity generate a spectrum of neurological dysfunction and a reduction in longterm Quality of Life (QoL) with a decrease in mobility. Aim: To evaluate the add-on effect of a Yoga program along with physiotherapy on individuals with paraplegia. Materials and Methods: A total of 124 SCI patients of both genders with age range 18-60 years, having incomplete SCI (AIS)-C and (AIS)-D, and admitted to the rehabilitation centre, India, were randomly allocated into two groups i.e.,: (i) Study group-Integrated Yoga and Physiotherapy (IYP) (n=62; age means and SD: 33.97±10.0 years); and (ii) control groupPhysiotherapy (PT) (n=62; age mean and SD:32.84±9.5 years). These participants were assessed on primary outcome measures: (i) American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment scale; (ii) c-Reactive Protein (CRP); (iii) Spinal Cord Injury Independence Measure (SCIM); and (iv) Medically Based Emotional Distress Scale (MEDS).
