Muscle MRI to study movement in spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of MRI that looks at muscle activity during movement. It aims to understand how muscles work together in people with spinal cord injuries who cannot walk, which could help improve future rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35. BMI is a measure of body size based on height and weight.
- You have had a spinal cord injury for at least one year. This is a chronic injury.
- You have some feeling and movement below the level of your injury, but you are not able to walk or stand, even a few steps with help.
- You can bend and straighten at least one knee on your own, even a little bit and without moving against gravity. Full range of motion is not required.

This study looks at how a spinal cord injury affects feeling, movement, behaviour, and thinking. If you join, you'll have tests and brain scans to help doctors understand these effects better.
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 is looking at ways to improve movement and health for people with paralysis from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It involves exercises and may include electrical stimulation to help your leg and trunk muscles work better.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and body changes after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand how the nervous system recovers over time.
This study uses an MRI scan and movement measurements to better understand muscle tightness (spasticity) in children with cerebral palsy. It may help researchers improve how spasticity is evaluated and modeled to support future treatments.
This study uses a special camera to see how imagining movement (motor imagery) affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injury. It aims to help understand how the brain recovers after injury.
