Sprint interval training during spinal cord injury rehab
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of short, intense arm exercise (sprint interval training) is safe and doable for people with spinal cord injury who are in the hospital for rehab. If you are eligible, you would do the exercise sessions during your stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You have a spinal cord injury below the second vertebra in your neck (C2).
- Your injury is classified as AIS A, B, or C (meaning it's not the mildest type).
- You are currently getting acute inpatient rehabilitation at Harborview Medical Center for your spinal cord injury.
- You are able to use an arm bike (arm ergometer) for exercise.
- You do not have poorly controlled diabetes, unstable heart disease, a shoulder injury, or other conditions that would make exercise unsafe.

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 study tests a new exercise program combining arm cycling with electrical stimulation of leg muscles for people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve your overall health and fitness.
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.
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 trial tests if starting leg cycling exercise within the first week after spinal cord injury is safe and helpful. It is for adults who had surgery within 48 hours of their injury and have a specific level of paralysis.
This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
