Balance training for people with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a treatment to improve how well you can balance and stay steady while moving if you have a spinal cord injury. It may help with side-to-side (lateral) balance and walking control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- A clinician has cleared you medically to safely join the study
- Your spinal cord injury level is between C4 and T10
- You can move your legs well enough to walk for at least 20 minutes on a treadmill (with partial body-weight support if needed)
- You can walk about 10 meters without braces/orthotics, or with braces that do not cross your knee
- No unhealed sores (bedsores), active infections, or serious heart/lung disease

This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury improve their walking. If you have some ankle movement but still need support to walk, you may be able to join.
This study compares wheelchair treadmill training with regular exercises to see which better improves trunk (core) balance for people with spinal cord injuries. If you use a manual wheelchair and have an injury at T6 or below, this trial may help you find a better way to strengthen your core.
This trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
This trial will test a self-balancing personal exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injuries. It may help you walk again and improve your mobility.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
This trial tests whether combining a robotic stand trainer with spinal cord epidural stimulation can improve balance in people with spinal cord injury. It is for individuals who already have an implanted stimulation unit and cannot stand on their own without it.
