Muscle Training + Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
Study Summary
This trial is testing a new rehabilitation treatment for people with spinal cord injuries, which includes checking for certain biomarkers to determine the best time to start the new training program. The program uses walking downhill on a slight slope on a treadmill while muscles that are not working normally are stimulated to contract using low levels of electricity. The goal is to improve trunk and leg movement, walking, and overall function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many individuals are participating in the current investigation?
"Indeed, clinicaltrials.gov data confirms that this experiment is currently seeking participants. The trial was first posted on August 25th 2022 and updated most recently on July 27th 2022. To complete the study 49 subjects need to be sourced from one selected centre of care."
Does this trial encompass individuals aged 20 or older?
"Those wishing to enroll in this research must be between the ages of 18 and 85. There are 87 studies available for minors, while 672 trials have been established for geriatric patients."
Are there currently vacancies for participants in this research?
"Data on clinicaltrials.gov implies that this medical trial is currently recruiting participants, having originated in August 2022 and then most recently edited nearly a month later."
Is it feasible for me to join this research project?
"This medical study seeks to enrol 49 individuals that have suffered from a spinal cord injury, ranging in age from 18 to 85 years old. To be eligible for participation, patients must fit the following criteria: completed rehabilitation; an AIS rating of A-D at C1-T10 level of neurologic impairment; lack any recent musculoskeletal injuries and surgeries."
What objectives are this research endeavor aiming to accomplish?
"The primary outcome of this clinical trial, which is to be evaluated over a 12-week period, will focus on the electromyography results of eccentric acting muscles. Secondary outcomes include changes in knee acceleration while walking on a treadmill from baseline at 12 and 16 weeks respectively; additionally, SCIM3 scores that indicate independence across self-care tasks (0-20), respiration/sphincter management (0-40) and mobility items 9-17 (also 0-40). Lastly, ankle acceleration during weight acceptance will also be monitored between week 12 and 16."
