High-Tech gait training shows promise for spinal cord injury recovery
NCT ID NCT07263581
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new rehab approach for people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It combines electrical muscle stimulation with augmented reality games during walking exercises. 70 adults aged 18-45 will be split into two groups: one gets the high-tech training, the other gets standard physiotherapy. The goal is to see which method improves walking speed, step length, and balance more over 12 weeks.
