Despite its importance, community reintegration remains under-researched, particularly in Northern India. This study aims to explore societal reintegration in people with TSCI in Northern India using the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique\u2013Short Form (CHART-SF). The CHART-SF examines the impact of age, gender, injury level, terrain, and the ASIA impairment scale (AIS) on physical independence, cognitive independence, mobility, occupation, social integration, and economic self-sufficiency. This cross-sectional observational study included 91 individuals with TSCI who had an injury duration greater than 1 year and received inpatient and outpatient services from our department in a tertiary health care centre between October 2022 and April 2024. Community reintegration scores were low in all areas measured by the CHART-SF, such as physical independence (38.5), cognitive independence (64.5), mobility (38.9), social integration (70.9), and economic self-sufficiency, with occupation (13.6) being the most affected domain. The mean CHART-SF score was 226.4 (56.8) out of a maximum of 600, indicating poor reintegration. Being motor complete (AIS A\u2013B) was moderately-to-strongly associated with worse physical independence (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">r<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>pb<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 0.91,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2005&lt;\u20050.001), mobility (0.87,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2005&lt;\u20050.001), occupation status (0.56,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2005&lt;\u20050.001), and overall community reintegration (0.84,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2005&lt;\u20050.001). The cognitive independence (64.5) and social integration scores (70.93) were not correlated with any demographic and injury variables assessed and were among the highest-scoring domains. The results suggest significant challenges in societal reintegration among individuals with TSCI in Northern India, particularly in mobility, physical independence, and occupation. While cognitive and social integration were relatively better, overall reintegration remained low. The injury severity, terrain, and other demographic factors influenced outcomes, especially in physical domains.\n
