SPINAL CORD INJURIES (SCI)

This study tested if a special electrical stimulation (40 kHz) applied through the skin can safely reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. Thirty adults with paraplegia and chronic nerve pain received either real or fake stimulation alongside their usual care. The go…

This small study tested whether using electrical stimulation to make arm muscles cycle on a special bike could help people with recent spinal cord injuries regain arm strength and function. Six participants with neck-level injuries completed 6 weeks of training, three times a wee…

This study tested a new online program called E-COSP designed to help people with spinal cord injury cope better and improve their mental health. Twelve adults with spinal cord injury who had mild to moderate anxiety or depression took part in eight weekly online group sessions l…

This study tested prefabricated carbon fiber ankle-foot braces in 65 children and teens with conditions like cerebral palsy or spinal cord injury. Researchers measured walking speed, stride length, and user satisfaction. The goal was to see if these braces improve gait and comfor…

This small pilot study looked at whether adding a special type of electrical stimulation to standard wound care helps heal chronic pressure injuries (bedsores) in people with spinal cord or brain injuries. Twenty adults who had bedsores that didn't improve after four weeks of sta…

This study asked 56 people with spinal cord injury in Türkiye to rate how important different daily activities—like eating, bathing, and moving around—are to them, and what level of independence they hope to achieve after rehabilitation. The goal was to learn which activities pat…

This study involved 43 adults with incomplete spinal cord injury to see how well patients and therapists agree on what counts as safe walking. Researchers compared their opinions with actual walking tests, balance, and fall risk. The goal is to improve discharge planning and prev…

This study looked at how robot-assisted walking training helps people with spinal cord injuries recover movement. Ten participants used a robotic device called Lokomat to practice walking. Researchers measured their progress before, during, and after training, and one month later…
