Walking problems in cervical myelopathy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how walking is affected in people with cervical myelopathy, a condition where the spinal cord in the neck is compressed. The goal is to better understand walking difficulties and find links to other symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be able to walk at least 10 feet (3 meters) without help from another person or a walking aid like a cane or walker.
- You should have a diagnosis of cervical myelopathy that has not been treated with surgery yet.
- Your leg strength must be at least level 2 on a scale called mJOA, meaning you can move your legs against gravity but not necessarily against resistance.
- You must be able to understand the study and agree to take part.

This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
This study follows adults with degenerative narrowing in the neck spine to see how symptoms and function change over time. It may help doctors better understand which patients improve or worsen, and why.
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 checks how well commercially available wearable sensors (IMUs) can measure walking problems during a clinic gait analysis. It may help your care team get more accurate information about your walking patterns, falls risk, and fatigue during walking.
This study tests a portable device that analyzes walking without markers. It aims to see if it can help assess walking in people with neuromuscular diseases and healthy volunteers, which could lead to simpler check-ups.
This trial studies walking patterns and back muscle activity in older adults undergoing spine surgery for conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs. It aims to understand how these conditions affect movement and recovery.
