Paired stimulation to improve leg movement after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether pairing nerve stimulation with voluntary leg movements can boost recovery of leg function after a spinal cord injury. If you have some voluntary leg movement but still struggle with walking, this therapy might help strengthen those signals and improve stepping.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 85 years old
- Your spinal cord injury happened at least 1 year ago and at or above the T10 level, with a classification of C or D
- You can move your ankle up, extend your knee, or push your foot down a little, in at least one leg
- You can stand without help and take at least one step without a therapist's assistance
- If you can already walk, you can walk slowly (at least 0.1 meters per second) on a treadmill
