Seated Balance Using the Indego™
Exoskeleton-assisted walking (EAW) provides a new mobility option and appears to have potential therapeutic benefits for persons with SCI. However, present day technology is not sufficient to replace the wheelchair. During EAW, users stand upright, maintain static and dynamic balance by actively and passively stimulating trunk and lower limb muscles …
Kayak Ergometer Training in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
One of the main objectives in spinal cord injury rehabilitation programs is the improvement of trunk control in order to achieve independence, to prevent complications and, in specific cases to walk. Research question: What is the effect of kayak ergometer training in trunk control, cardiovascular condition and independence in individuals …
Male Fertility Program
Following spinal cord injury, most men are infertile and require medical assistance to father children. The conditions that contribute to their infertility are erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and semen abnormalities. The Miami Project Male Fertility Program is a research study designed to understand and improve impairments to male fertility resulting …
Closed-loop Spinal Stimulation for Restoration of Upper Extremity Function After Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of non-invasive (transcutaneous) closed-loop electrical spinal cord stimulation for recovery of upper limb function (Aim 1) and spasticity (Aim 2) following spinal cord injury.
Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation in Children With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Aim 1: Determine the safety and feasibility of administration of TSCS to children in a clinical setting. Participants will be randomly assigned to experimental (TSCS) or control (sham stimulation) groups. Both groups will receive eight-weeks of individualized gait training. We will measure adverse events, including pain and skin irritation, to …
Influence of Spinal Stimulation Frequency on Spasticity, Motor Control, and Pain After Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this study is to identify the effect of different types of noninvasive spinal stimulation on spasticity (involuntary muscle activity), muscle strength, and pain in people with spinal cord injury. The spinal stimulation consists of electrical stimulation applied through one electrode over the skin of the lower back …
HAPPINESS: cHAnging the Perceived Pain INtEnSity in Populations With Spinal Cord Injury and With Health Disparities: A Feasibility Study
Chronic neuropathic pain affects 69% of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI). Current treatment options are limited (primarily pain medications) with insufficient benefits and significant risks for addiction and adverse effects. Of the available mind and body approaches, Qigong is the most accessible for adults with SCI with evidence for …
Promoting Recovery Outcomes Through Precise Early Locomotor Interventions in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a specific type of additional walking therapy, called body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) affects walking ability following a traumatic spinal cord injury. Specifically, the study will look at whether starting BWSTT, which uses a body harness to support body weight …
Testosterone and Neural Function
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the nerves controlling movement, along with those that regulate functions like heart rate and blood pressure (known as the autonomic nervous system, or ANS). Testosterone (T) plays a significant role in brain health and ANS reflex function in non-neurologically impaired men. However, little is known …
The Enteric Nervous System in Spinal Cord Injury: Study of the Enteric Nervous System and the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Via Colonic Biopsies in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about the enteric nervous system (ENS) and the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The main questions it aims to answer are : to characterize the functional (permeability, serotonin production, enteric neuronal phenotype, etc.), proteomic …
