Smartphone coaching to boost exercise after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone program and coaching to help people with spinal cord injury follow recommended exercise routines. It may help you increase how much you exercise and improve adherence to exercise guidelines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are age 18 to 80 and can speak English
- You use a smartphone with a data plan and can learn to use the study apps

This study tests a mobile phone system that helps people with long-term, complex health conditions manage daily life and get support. If you can use a smartphone and pass the study checks, you may be able to try the self-management tools.
This study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
This study tests whether a device placed on the back can help improve leg movement and walking ability after a spinal cord injury. It combines the device with supervised physical therapy over many weeks to see if it helps with daily mobility.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program for people with spinal cord injury. You join live video exercise classes and work with a trainer to improve your strength and movement.
