NCT ID: NCT06349434 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Upper Extremity Dysfunction

The Utilization Effects of Powered Wearable Orthotics in Improving Upper Extremity Function and ADL in Persons With SCI

Start date: October 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate the usefulness of an upper extremity assistive device, called (MyoPro) in improving upper extremity activities in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The Department of Defense is supporting this study.

NCT ID: NCT06000592 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinal Cord Injuries

Safety, Feasibility, and Efficacy of TSCS on Stabilizing Blood Pressure for Acute Inpatients With SCI

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Current forms of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments for hypotension and orthostatic hypotension (OH) remain inadequate during acute inpatient rehabilitation (AIR) following a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). A critical need exists for the identification of safe, practical, and effective treatment options that stabilize blood pressure (BP) after traumatic SCI. Recent published evidence suggests that transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) can be used to raise seated BP, and mitigate the falls in BP during orthostatic repositioning in individuals with chronic SCI. This site-specific project will focus on the use of TSCS to stabilizing seated BP and mitigate the fall in BP during orthostatic repositioning during AIR following traumatic SCI.

NCT ID: NCT05705453 Recruiting - Clinical trials for SCI - Spinal Cord Injury

Epidural Stimulation After Neurologic Damage: Long-Term Outcomes

LTO
Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate the long-term effect of chronic spinal cord stimulation to restore volitional movement for patients with chronic spinal cord injuries.

NCT ID: NCT05638191 Recruiting - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper-limb Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: June 3, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The goal of this prospective, open label cohort study is to assess functional and motor outcomes in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury who have undergone nerve transfer surgery, with the goal of increasing upper limb function. We will also compare these outcomes to a cohort of similarly matched individuals who have not undergone nerve transfer surgery, using robust outcome measures, rigorous pre-operative clinical and neurophysiological assessments, and standardized rehabilitation. At the end of this project we aim to develop a model for predicting nerve transfer outcomes using pre-operative clinical and neurophysiological characteristics.

NCT ID: NCT05401734 Recruiting - Clinical trials for SCI - Spinal Cord Injury

Robot Assisted Gait Training in Persons With a Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: February 1, 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Over the past decade, RAGT has emerged as a promising method for improving ambulation after spinal cord injury (SCI). Early reports of this therapy were very promising, yet a recent study suggested that even though RAGT may improve locomotor ability in the acute SCI population, it appears less functional to more conventional forms of ambulation such as wheelchair propulsion. What most of these studies have neglected to address, however, is the efficacy of RAGT as a therapeutic exercise intervention for the SCI population. Indeed, persons with SCI lead by definition a sedentary lifestyle. This reduced activity can lead to a variety of secondary health complications, including an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, spasticity, altered muscle composition and reduced joint range of motion (ROM), increased risk for pressure sores, reduced bone mineral density, increased risk for osteoporosis, and bladder and bowel dysfunction. In addition, psychological components such as body image, self-esteem, self-efficacy, psychological well-being and quality of life in general may be affected. Consequently, before RAGT is dismissed as an expensive but perhaps not superior alternative to conventional rehabilitation strategies after SCI, the potential effect of this therapy on a variety of health-related outcomes needs to be considered, and the potential physiological and psychological benefits associated with this whole-body upright exercise therapy may justify its use in both the acute and chronic SCI populations. Several investigations have already indicated that regular exposure to RAGT results in some very significant health-related benefits that may decrease the aforementioned risk of secondary health complications. To our knowledge however, longitudinal effect studies in the SCI population have not yet been conducted, and further studies are needed to provide definitive evidence. It can be assumed that such insights may further optimize long-term health benefits, but also the cost-benefit ratio of RAGT. In addition, a detailed analysis of RAGT parameters (walking time, crutch position, forward and lateral center of gravity shift, step length and height, swing phase, walking speed, etc.) and the direct cardiovascular response (heart frequency, blood pressure, blood lactate concentration) to RAGT have not yet been conducted. The purpose of this research project is therefore to investigate the longitudinal effect of RAGT on the psychological well-being (Quality of Life, pain, fatigue), independence in activities of daily living, muscular strength and joint range of motion (ROM), and bladder and bowel function in persons with SCI.

NCT ID: NCT05386537 Recruiting - Clinical trials for SCI - Spinal Cord Injury

Combining Wearable Robotic Orthosis With Visual and Haptic Feedback to Enhance the Recovery of Upper Extremity Motor Function and ADL in Persons With Acute SCI

Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) is evaluating the usefulness of combining MyoMo robotic orthosis with visual and haptic feedback in ameliorating wrist/hand/UE movement capability, and increasing ADL and quality of life in people with acute SCI.
