Comparing two strength training methods for spinal cord injury rehab
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of strength training for people with spinal cord injuries during rehabilitation. It aims to see if eccentric (muscle lengthening) exercises are better than standard training at improving muscle function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older.
- Have a spinal cord injury (from injury or disease).
- Use a wheelchair for daily activities at home.
- Be able to participate in a standard strength training program during rehabilitation.
- Have enough arm strength to do arm-crank training.
- No conditions like multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barré syndrome, no MRI contraindications, and not pregnant.

This trial tests whether a brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury at or above C6. It may help strengthen signals from the brain to the wrist muscles.
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 supervised resistance training program can improve how your heart and blood vessels respond to daily activities. It may help reduce dizziness and other heart-related problems that can happen after a spinal cord injury.
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique that uses small electrical pulses can help improve wrist movement in people with spinal cord injury. It is designed for those who have some wrist weakness but can still produce a tiny electrical signal in the wrist muscle.
This study looks at how arm muscles work together in people with spinal cord injury. It involves mild electrical stimulation to help understand muscle control, which may lead to better treatments.
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.
