Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of eccentric arm-crank (KREHA) training compared to standard clinical routine strength (STAN) training in individuals undergoing primary spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation.

The main questions this trail aims to answer are:

* what are the effects of the training on upper body strength, aerobic performance, muscle volume, functional independence, and health-related quality of life?
* is the KREHA training feasible to implement into the rehabilitation routine?

Participants will:

* perform either 20 KREHA sessions or 20 STAN sessions within 12 weeks
* perform a test battery to collect data on training effects before (pretest) and after (posttest) the study intervention

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Eccentric (KREHA) training

20 eccentric resistance training sessions will be performed on a symmetric arm-crank ergometer in a supine position.

PROCEDURE

Standard clinical routine strength (STAN) training

The regular strength training intervention consists of a total of 20 training sessions at the gym of the study center, performed following clinical routine procedures.
