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.
