Exercise and nutrition program for older adults with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a program that combines exercise and nutrition education for older adults who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps improve fitness and health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have a spinal cord injury that happened at least 12 months ago.
- You do not currently exercise enough to meet the SCI exercise guidelines.
- You have your doctor's permission to take part in the exercise program and to do a peak exercise test.
- You do not have an injury in the top part of your neck (C1 to C3) that affects your breathing, and you have enough arm function to safely do the exercises.

This study is looking at how well a special education program helps people with spinal cord injuries manage their health and daily life after leaving the hospital. It is for adults who recently finished their first rehabilitation stay and have a spinal cord injury from the C5 level or lower.
This study tests a special exercise program (with muscle training and possible stimulation) soon after spinal cord injury to see how muscles and the body respond. It also includes healthy adults to compare measurements and biomarkers.
This study tests a new exercise program combining arm cycling with electrical stimulation of leg muscles for people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve your overall health and fitness.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
This study tests if adding spinal cord stimulation to arm bike exercise can improve heart and blood vessel health in people with chronic spinal cord injury. You would come to the clinic up to 3 times a week for up to 6 months.
