Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of the Grief Recovery Method in assisting persons with spinal cord injuries to achieve as complete a recovery as possible, thereby allowing for fuller participation in life.
In this study, 10 volunteer participants with chronic spinal cord injury will undergo a 10-week training schedule for ambulation with the ReWalk™ device. The ReWalk™ consists of a lightweight brace-support suit containing motors at the hip and knee joints, rechargeable batteries and a computerized control system carried in a backpack. ReWalk™ users control their ambulation through subtle changes in centre of gravity and upper-body movements. Before, during and after training sessions the volunteers will perform standardised assessments and complete questionnaires to assess the functional and psychological effects of the exoskeleton. Functional outcomes primarily focus on ambulation outcomes and psychological outcomes primarily focus on predisposition and perceptions of disability. The outcomes of this pilot study will assist the investigators in the preparations of randomised controlled trail for assessing the efficacy of the ReWalk™ device in a neurorehabilitation setting.
The purpose of this research study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of using two CRS Arrays (microelectrodes) for long-term recording of brain motor cortex activity and microstimulation of brain sensory cortex.
This Study is a single arm,Phase I/II , single centre trial to check active comparing the safety and efficacy of Bone marrow derived autologous cell(100 million per dose) trial to be conducted for 36 months.
The propose of the study is to validate in Mexico a spanish translation of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) Version III, in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Internal consistency, reproducibility and reliability will be addressed scoring the results of the translated version at two time frames and also of the same patients by different examiners (physicians, nurses and technicians).
This is a Phase I/II, multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, open label study to evaluate the safety/efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cell transplantation in spinal cord injury patients.
Today there is accumulating evidence from animal experiments that regeneration can be induced after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Consequently in the near future, new therapeutic approaches to induce some regeneration will be included in the treatment of patients with SCI. The aim of this proposal is to provide the required clinical basis for the implementation of novel interventional therapies. The establishment of combined clinical, functional and neurophysiological measures for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of spinal cord function in patients with SCI at different stages during rehabilitation represents a basic requirement to monitor any significant effect of a new treatment. Therefore, several European Paraplegic Centres involved in the rehabilitation of acute traumatic SCI patients build up a close collaboration for standardised assessment. The aim is to get knowledge about the natural recovery after spinal cord lesion in a larger population of patients in the sense of a historical control group and to bring new standardised assessment tools to the clinical setting.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation (FES) provided by an implanted pulse generator (IPG) in correcting hip, knee and ankle function to improve walking in people with partial paralysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgically implanted functional electrical stimulation (FES) system to facilitate stability of the trunk and hips. FES involves applying small electric currents to the nerves, which cause the muscles to contract. This study evaluates how stabilizing and stiffening the trunk with FES can change the way spinal cord injured volunteers sit, breathe, reach, push a wheelchair, or roll in bed.
Following spinal cord injury, most men are infertile and require medical assistance to father children. The conditions that contribute to their infertility are erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and semen abnormalities. The Miami Project Male Fertility Program is a research study designed to understand and improve impairments to male fertility resulting from spinal cord injury.
