Summary

This study tested a home-based program for people with spinal cord injury that combines leg cycling with electrical stimulation, arm exercise, and a hormone treatment. The goal was to see if this approach improves aerobic capacity, muscle strength, and overall health better than exercise alone. The trial included 84 adults with cervical or thoracic spinal cord injury who were at least 6 months post-injury.
