Electric rowing machine study for paralysis pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT04821635
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study planned to test whether training on a rowing machine that uses electrical stimulation to move the legs could improve fitness in adults with traumatic paraplegia. Participants would have trained for 6 months, but the trial was withdrawn before anyone enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Rower assisted by electrostimulation (FES-ROW)
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could point toward a way to improve heart and lung fitness in people with spinal cord injuries using a special rowing machine.
What could go wrong
The trial was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so we have no data on whether the approach is safe or effective. It remains an untested idea.
