Spinal Cord Injuries Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Locomotor Training on Children With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries
--Participation open to all Canadian residents--
The purpose of this study is to address how well children with incomplete spinal cord
injuries of greater than 12 months duration who remain non-functional ambulators improve
through body weight assisted treadmill training (BWATT).
In the past, this type of treatment has been offered to adults living with a spinal cord
injury, but only recently has it been extended, in the US, to children so affected. Numerous
trials indicate that BWSTT does improve human gait patterns in adults. As children have more
neuroplasticity than adults, we believe they should respond well to BWSTT.
The BWSTT uses a counterweight harness system to unload the patient's body weight while he
or she is on a treadmill. The patient's legs are manually moved by trained therapists
through the human gait cycle while maintaining a correct upright posture. Functional and
social re-integration outcome assessments are administered before and after each treatment
period.
The aim, this year, is to recruit five children who have been living with a spinal cord
injury for at least 12 months. The 12-month timeframe was chosen to limit any gait
improvement from spontaneous recovery as well as to ensure medical stability.
The study will be conducted over a nine-week period. There are two three-week training
sessions separated by a three-week rest period. The BWSTT therapy will be held twice daily
for 30 minute sessions. The children and their families return home between the two training
periods and are allowed to continue any conventional physiotherapy program they started
prior to participating in the study. Outcomes will be re-evaluated during the second
three-week training period.
