description Managing neglected spinal cord injury (SCI) patients in a rural setting can be challenging due to a lack of resources and the unique personal and environmental contextual factors that may hinder rehabilitation. This article aims to identify the contextual factors and their impact on successful rehabilitation. A middle-aged man from a rural area had suffered a neglected traumatic SCI and was first seen by the rehabilitation team 17 years post injury. He had a T7 AIS A paraplegia and was bedridden with multiple secondary complications. He was admitted with goals of optimizing his health, initiating basic spinal rehabilitation and improving his functional status. By 1 month, the patient made gradual improvement of his mobility and ADL but requested discharge despite not having achieved his rehab goals. We identified the factors that contributed to his poor motivation to be more functionally independent. Personal factors include poor educational level, his background personality and erratic health-seeking behaviour. Environmental factors included poor family and financial support, physical barriers, lack of work opportunities and facilities for people with disability, poor community support and acceptance and poor healthcare facilities and expertise. The patient's personal and environmental factors affected the delivery of SCI management, spinal rehabilitation and management of secondary comorbidities. Awareness of early spinal rehabilitation among the rural community and healthcare authorities is crucial to promote better implementation of policies, services or programs to support people with SCI.
