Improving Upper Extremity Function and Trunk Stability After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

NCT05191121 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 99

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ninety-nine individuals meeting the study's inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study. The objective of this study is to evaluate three different therapeutic approaches to synergistically retrain functional movement patterns of the upper extremities in combination with trunk stabilization to promote neurologic and functional recovery after SCI. Each subject will complete 40 sessions of intervention. Subjects will also complete a Baseline Evaluation (week 0), Re-Evaluation (week 4), Post Treatment Evaluation (week 8), and a Follow-Up Evaluation (week 12).

Conditions

  • Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

FTP Alone

Participants will be challenged with training speed, weight, limited therapist support, and context variation (e.g., fine motor activities will vary using objects such as cards, dice, coins).

BEHAVIORAL

FTP+Con-FES

Participants will be challenged with training speed, weight, limited therapist support, and context variation (e.g., fine motor activities will vary using objects such as cards, dice, coins). Muscle groups will be stimulated at the same time they would be activated naturally in a pre-injury movement pattern utilizing conventional parameter FES.

BEHAVIORAL

FTP+WPHF-FES

Participants will be challenged with training speed, weight, limited therapist support, and context variation (e.g., fine motor activities will vary using objects such as cards, dice, coins). Muscle groups will be stimulated at the same time they would be activated naturally in a pre-injury movement pattern utilizing wide pulse, high frequency parameter FES.
