Abstract: Background: The ministry of public health has implemented a health service system called intermediate care (IMC), which is aimed at ensuring access of completing six-month continual rehabilitation program. It is required to investigate service outcomes of continual rehabilitation based on IMC in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. Objectives: To investigate service outcomes of continual rehabilitation based on IMC in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. Methods: The current study employed pre-experiment research. The subjects were patients with traumatic spinal cord injury admitted at Buriram hospital from March 1st, 2020 to July 31st, 2020. The subject underwent six-month visit for continual rehabilitation. Results: A total of 10 patients with traumatic spinal cord injury participated in the study. The median of age was 64 years (43- 71) years. According to the study, after a six-month visit for continual rehabilitation, the median was 11 and 65, respectively with statistical differences (p≤0.05). However, there were no statistical difference in respect of their quality of life comparing the first visit to complete six-month period of rehabilitation visits. Conclusion: After the six-month period of continual visits for the patients with traumatic spinal cord injury following the intermediate care (IMC), the ability to perform task in daily living increased with statistically significant difference. This may be because they could access the services and they underwent the rehabilitation with specific, correct, appropriate treatments, thus reducing dependence of others. However, their quality of life remained unchanged. Keywords: Patients with traumatic spinal cord injury, Quality of life, Functional ability of daily living
