Study Summary

This trial will examine the usability of an adaptive rower for people with spinal cord injury, measuring intensity, assistance needed, ease of use and satisfaction.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who use a wheelchair due to spinal cord injury and can perform the rowing motion with their arms. They must have sufficient grip strength (with or without assist straps) and be cleared to exercise by a questionnaire or physician. People with current pressure wounds or pain during rowing cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an adaptive rower designed for people with spinal cord injuries. It evaluates how intense the workout is, what help they need to set up and use it, and their satisfaction levels. Participants will do two short exercise sessions on this equipment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical exercise using an adapted rower, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or discomfort in areas used during rowing. However, specific side effects will depend on individual health conditions.
