Progressive Resistance Training in Acute Spinal Cord Injury

NCT04265560 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 7

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Muscle weakness is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms following a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Strength training is recommended as an effective means to increase muscular strength and improve function for individuals with long term SCI. In contrast, the strength training guidance for those with a recent (\<1 year) SCI is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feasibility of a method of upper limb strengthening - Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) and its impact upon muscle strength and function.
