Getting help from a peer coach to learn wheelchair skills
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether virtual one-on-one training with a peer who has a spinal cord injury can help you learn new wheelchair skills. You'll practice using video calls, and you need a helper nearby to keep you safe during practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a spinal cord injury that is stable (not getting worse).

This trial tests a peer health coaching program for people with spinal cord injuries who have recently left inpatient rehab. It aims to help you adjust to community living with support from someone who has been through a similar experience.
This study tests a home-based rehabilitation program that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the back to help people with tetraplegia improve arm and hand function. You and a caregiver will use a digital program daily for several weeks.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises that combine arm movements with thinking tasks can improve both memory and brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. If you use a wheelchair and can move your arms well, this might help boost your cognitive function while doing rehab.
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.
This study tests whether a home, therapist-guided exercise program combined with a spinal stimulation device (with or without limited blood flow) can improve movement and function in people with incomplete tetraplegia. It may help your muscles respond better, but participation depends on safety checks and your ability to do exercises by video.
This study tests if group coaching helps people with certain chronic conditions set and achieve life goals. You would join phone or video sessions with a coach and others like you.
