How fear of falling affects people with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how fear of falling and anxiety about movement affect people with spinal cord injuries that cause leg paralysis. Joining helps researchers understand these feelings so they can improve rehabilitation support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a spinal cord injury that affects your legs (paraplegia), not your arms
- Your injury happened at least 3 months ago
- You are medically stable, with no active infections or severe health problems
- You can understand and complete questionnaires

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people after a recent, serious injury—especially a new spinal cord injury—to see how research and clinical knowledge can be improved. Depending on your group (spinal cord injury, other trauma, or healthy), you may be invited to participate if you meet age and injury timing needs.
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 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 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 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 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.
