Imagining movement speed after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests how quickly people with spinal cord injuries can imagine movement (like picturing left or right). It helps doctors understand mental processing after injury, which may guide future rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with a spinal cord injury that affects both legs (paraplegia), not your arms
- At least 3 months have passed since your injury
- You are medically stable and able to follow instructions
- You can complete a computer-based task that asks you to judge left vs. right
- You agree to take part and sign a consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how nerve pathways in the spinal cord help control movements in people with spinal cord injury. It may help researchers better understand movement control and could lead to improved rehab strategies.
This study tests whether spinal cord stimulation combined with training can improve your ability to move your legs and do daily tasks. You may be able to join if you have a traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (or, in some cases, if you’re a healthy volunteer).
This trial tests a “neural bypass” approach to help restore hand movement and feeling in people with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. You would have repeated visits for brain/nerve testing and may receive study procedures to see if function improves.
This study looks at how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) feel and picture their bodies. If you have had an SCI for one year or longer, you may help doctors better understand and measure this sense of body awareness.
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 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.
