Antigravity treadmill training for incomplete spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether walking on a special treadmill that supports some of your body weight can improve your heart and lung fitness and help your legs work better. It may be a helpful rehabilitation option for people with an incomplete spinal cord injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an incomplete spinal cord injury, meaning you have some feeling or movement below the injury level (classified as ASIA C or D).
- Your injury happened more than 3 months ago.
- You are able to stand, with or without help from a person or device.
- You are medically stable, with no severe heart or lung problems, severe osteoporosis or fractures, severe cognitive issues, or other neurological conditions that affect walking.

This study tests a new walking therapy that combines electrical muscle stimulation and augmented reality (a computer-generated view) to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. It may improve how you walk and your overall movement.
This study tests a special walking program for people who have recently had a spinal cord injury. The goal is to help you recover as much walking ability as possible.
This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
This study tests whether intensive walking training helps people with incomplete spinal cord injuries regain walking ability. You would work with physical therapists on challenging walking exercises to improve strength and independence.
This study looks at a treatment to improve how well you can balance and stay steady while moving if you have a spinal cord injury. It may help with side-to-side (lateral) balance and walking control.
This study compares wheelchair treadmill training with regular exercises to see which better improves trunk (core) balance for people with spinal cord injuries. If you use a manual wheelchair and have an injury at T6 or below, this trial may help you find a better way to strengthen your core.
