What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This observational study looks at how people with spinal cord injuries maintain balance while performing a stationary wheelchair wheelie. Participants will be asked to hold a wheelie for at least 20 seconds while sensors track their body movements and balance. The goal is to understand the postural control mechanisms that make this skill possible, which could help improve wheelchair training and safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
This research could inform training programs or assistive technologies to help wheelchair users perform wheelies more safely and confidently.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so its findings may not apply to all wheelchair users. It does not test any treatment or intervention.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
