Test of different-speed ergonomic wheelchairs for daily users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a wheelchair design that can better match how you move and sit while using a manual wheelchair every day. You may be able to try different wheelchair setups if you meet the safety, seating, and body-size requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You use a manual (self-propelled) wheelchair every day
- You are an adult (age 18 or older)
- You weigh under 125 kg (about 275 lb)
- You can understand the study and give consent, and follow study steps
- Your body size can fit the available seat sizes (16-inch or 18-inch)
- You do not have recent pressure sores or pressure-injury surgery, and you can use the study wheelchair seating safely
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton device designed to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. Researchers will assess whether the device improves mobility and quality of life over nine visits to a research center.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
This study tests a new kind of manual wheelchair for kids and teens that lets you stand up while moving around. It’s for people who already use a manual wheelchair and are part of a standing program.
This study compares using a personal exoskeleton (a wearable robot that helps you stand and walk) versus a manual wheelchair for everyday activities. It aims to see which one helps people with spinal cord injuries feel more satisfied and perform better in daily tasks.
