Walking and balance study for people with spinal cord compression
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how spinal cord compression in the neck affects your walking. By joining, you might gain a better understanding of your condition and contribute to research that could improve care for others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can walk at least 3 meters (about 10 feet) without help from another person or a walking aid.
- You have never had surgery on your neck for cervical myelopathy.
- Your leg strength is at least partially preserved — a score of 2 or higher on a standard scale.
- You do not have other conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or major joint problems that affect walking.

This trial studies how changes in balance and body sensing (proprioception) show up in people with age-related neck spinal cord problems. It may help researchers understand symptoms and how best to evaluate or manage degenerative cervical myelopathy.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injuries walk better. If you join, you'll practice walking on a treadmill with support, which may improve your strength and speed over time.
This study looks at how spine conditions affect the way people walk. Researchers will analyze your walking patterns to better understand spine disease and help guide future treatments.
This study is looking at how your walking and back muscle activity change after spinal fusion surgery for common aging-related spine problems. It will help doctors understand muscle function around the spine, which may improve recovery.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
This study looks at a treatment to improve how well you can balance and stay steady while moving if you have a spinal cord injury. It may help with side-to-side (lateral) balance and walking control.
