Shoulder Health After Rehab and Performance Training
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how shoulder health changes after a rehabilitation and performance training program for people with paraplegia who use manual wheelchairs. It may help you strengthen your shoulders and prevent injuries as you start your life after rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paraplegia (paralysis of the legs) from a spinal cord injury below the T2 level.
- You use a manual wheelchair (not a power wheelchair).
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are just finishing your first rehabilitation after your injury.
- You have not had shoulder surgery that required your arm to be immobilized for more than 4 weeks, and you do not have any metal implants that would prevent an MRI.

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 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 looks at how people recover and rehabilitate after a spinal cord injury, which may help improve future rehabilitation programs.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises that combine arm movements with thinking tasks can improve both memory and brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. If you use a wheelchair and can move your arms well, this might help boost your cognitive function while doing rehab.
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 a home-based rehabilitation program that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the back to help people with tetraplegia improve arm and hand function. You and a caregiver will use a digital program daily for several weeks.
