Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of the study are to evaluate trunk task-oriented training combined with function electrical stimulation (FES/T-TOT) efficacy on sitting balance and functional independence, and to understand the mechanisms of neuroplasticity that would improve functional independence following FES/T-TOT in individuals with spinal cord injury.


Clinical Trial Description

After obtaining their consent, participants will undertake evaluations at different times: 1. Assessment 3 weeks prior to training 2. Assessment 1 week prior to training 3. Training over 12 weeks 4. Assessment 1 week after training 5. Assessment 1 month after training (follow-up) Each assessment will be divided in 2 sessions and data will be collected over 2 days, at one session per day. The assessment will consist of: - Session 1 (at Neuro-Concept clinic) will include presentation of the study and the obtention of written consent, clinical (modified Reaching test and muscle strength), quality of life and functional independence assessments. - Session 2 (at IURDPM in Dr. Barthélemy's laboratory) will include postural control, corticospinal and cortical assessments. After the initial assessment, the participants with spinal cord injury will realize 36 sessions of trunk task-oriented training alone or combined with function electrical stimulation (3 times a week for 12 weeks). ;
