Adaptive rowing seat optimization for trunk support
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a specially designed rowing seat that provides extra trunk support, which may help people with paralysis or poor balance row more comfortably and safely. You will try the seat while rowing, and the team will check how well it works for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paralysis (but you do not need a ventilator), for example from a spinal cord injury, stroke, or a condition like multiple sclerosis or ALS.
- You have weak trunk control or trouble sitting upright on your own.
- Your body size and shape fit within the seat and the rowing machine.
- You can move your legs on your own or your legs respond to electrical stimulation.
- You are classified as a PR2 or PR1 para-rowing athlete according to FISA rules.

This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
This study tests a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton device designed to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. Researchers will assess whether the device improves mobility and quality of life over nine visits to a research center.
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
This study tests whether using the Indego device can improve balance and movement for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). You would practice standing or balance tasks with the device if you meet the safety and fit requirements.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
