Circuit Training Program for Persons With Spinal Cord Injury

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This initiative represents development and pilot testing of a circuit training exercise program for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) to be implemented within a rehabilitation centre. The program will integrate members of the community who are > 18 months post-injury with those currently participating in SCI rehabilitation as inpatient.

Clinical Trial Description

This initiative represents development and pilot testing of a 16 week circuit training exercise program for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) to be implemented within a rehabilitation centre (Parkwood Institute, London, ON). The primary purpose of this trial is one of feasibility - i.e., testing out several aspects of the trial for the purposes of determining what features of the exercise intervention and the various outcome measurements might be a part of subsequent trials. In addition, a subset of this data will serve as preliminary comparison information for Dr. Dany Gagnon's study at the University of Montreal. In this way, this is not a true multi-centre trial in that we are not conducting an identical protocol to a study he is conducting. Rather, we are using some of the same outcome measures and an exercise intervention that has some similar parameters to one that he is implementing in Montreal - with a view to providing a preliminary comparison of outcomes of a subset of participants in our study so as to inform the development of future studies. For this reason, the group of community-dwelling persons with SCI will have more cardio-metabolic outcome measurements taken, as they represent the primary group of interest to Dr. Gagnon.

Overall, the program will integrate members of the community who are > 18 months post-injury (n=8) with those currently participating in SCI rehabilitation as inpatients (n=8). Outcomes will be collected to test the effects of the program on an array of cardio-metabolic measures in those participants with chronic SCI, as well as the feasibility of the program for all participants (N=16). Note: although a participant can decline to continue participation at any time, it is likely that many inpatient participants will choose to not continue participation if this proves logistically difficult (if they move back to their home community away from London). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
