Testing an adapted rower for people with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether an adapted rowing machine works well and is safe for people with spinal cord injuries. You may be able to take part if you use a wheelchair, can row with your arms, and are medically cleared to exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You use a wheelchair for getting around
- You can do the rowing motion using your arms
- You can hold the rower handle firmly (with or without grip assist straps)
- You have been cleared to exercise by a health questionnaire or a doctor
- You do not currently have pressure sores (wounds from sitting/pressure)

This study tests a special adaptive rowing seat designed to help people with paralysis who have poor trunk control. The goal is to see if the seat makes rowing safer and more comfortable.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
This study tests if adding spinal cord stimulation to arm bike exercise can improve heart and blood vessel health in people with chronic spinal cord injury. You would come to the clinic up to 3 times a week for up to 6 months.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
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 a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
