Summary

This study will enroll people with SCI who have spasticity and some ability to walk. The goal is to understand if standing on a platform and receiving WBV results in decreased spasticity and improved walking ability. Published article is available (PMID: 29959653)

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Short Duration

During each WBV repetition, subjects will stand on the vibration platform of the WBV device with knees slightly bent (approximately 30 degrees flexion). The subject will hold the handrails for balance and the WBV device will be turned on. The subject will receive a total of 6 minutes of WBV at a frequency of 50 Hz.

PROCEDURE

Long Duration

During each WBV repetition, subjects will stand on the vibration platform of the WBV device with knees slightly bent (approximately 30 degrees flexion). The subject will hold the handrails for balance and the WBV device will be turned on. The subject will receive a total of 12 minutes of WBV at a frequency of 50 Hz. Interventions will occur for a total of 20 sessions over 4 consecutive weeks .
