SPINAL CORD INJURIES (SCI)

This small study tested whether arm cycling with electrical stimulation can improve arm strength and function in people with recent spinal cord injuries. Six participants completed 6 weeks of training, three times per week. The main goal was to see if the approach is feasible and…

This study tested whether a gentle 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 placebo stimulation alongside their usual treat…

This study tested a new online program 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 led by a nurse. The main…

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

This small pilot study tested whether adding electrical stimulation to standard wound care helps heal chronic pressure injuries (bedsores) in 20 adults with spinal cord or brain injuries. Participants received either standard care alone or standard care plus electrical pulses aro…

This study involved 43 adults with incomplete spinal cord injury to compare how patients and therapists rate safe walking ability versus actual walking tests. Researchers measured walking independence, muscle strength, balance, and fall risk. The goal was to improve discharge pla…

This study surveyed 56 adults with spinal cord injury in Türkiye to find out which everyday activities—like eating, bathing, or using a wheelchair—they consider most important. Participants rated each activity and shared their personal goals for independence after rehabilitation.…

This study looked at how people with spinal cord injury improve their walking ability during robot-assisted gait training. Ten participants used a robotic device called Lokomat to help them walk, and their progress was measured before, during, and after the training, plus one mon…
