Clinical Trial Summary

"Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a dramatic event resulting in a long-term handicap. Appropriate care from admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) is a key element not only for the survival of these patients but also to promote their recovery. Moreover, the studies on natural history of SCI have shown that most of the recovery occurs within the first 3 to 6 months post-injury. This period is therefore crucial for these patients. However, the environment of the ICU and the acute condition of the patients limit the rehabilitation possibilities. In such a context, functional proprioceptive stimulations (Vibramoov™ system, Techno Concept, France) could be a tool of interest. By using tendon vibrations, the Vibramoov™ system allows to reproduce the proprioceptive signatures of cyclic movements such as walking. Some studies have already demonstrated the benefits of proprioceptive vibrations. However, so far, these benefits have only been studied at the chronic stage of neurological diseases. The investigators hypothesized that early functional proprioceptive stimulations (FPS) may reduce spasticity and promote sensorimotor recovery in tetraplegic and high paraplegic patients. To test their hypothesis, the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial on 40 patients with traumatic SCI. These patients will be stratified into two groups according to the completeness of their lesion. Every patient will be included within ten days post-injury and receive either FPS, either sham stimulations to the joints of the lower limbs, 4 times a week during 8 weeks. the primary outcome measures will assess spasticity. the investigators also assess sensorimotor recovery, pain, muscle wasting, cognitive impairment and functional status.
