Improve Dynamic Lateral Balance of Humans With SCI
This study is to test whether pelvis perturbation training paired with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) will be effective in improving dynamic balance and locomotor function in humans with SCI. One group will receive pelvis perturbation training paired with tsDCS, one group will receive pelvis perturbation training paired with …
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Functional Recovery in Humans With Tetraplegia
In support of the long-term goal of developing new strategies to increase limb function after SCI, the objectives of this proposal are to: 1) Examine the behavioral and physiological effects of TESS on upper-limb muscles after cervical SCI; and 2) Maximize the recovery of reaching and grasping potential by using …
Evaluation of New MRI Sequences Including 3D-FGAPSIR for the Optimization of Inflammatory Spinal Cord Lesions Research
verification of inclusion and non-inclusion criteria information and collection of consent standard imaging protocol prescribed as part of the usual treatment: sagittal T1 and T2 slices after injection of contrast product (Gadolinium), 3D STIR and 3D PSIR sequence. 3D FGAPSIR sequence at the level of the cervical cord for the …
Hunova® Randomized Controlled Trial for Trunk Control Improvement in Spinal Cord Injured Patients
In patients with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), trunk and therefore postural control (both in statics and dynamics) are impaired, often with strong consequences on daily life activities. Therefore, improvement and reinforcement of trunk control are primary rehabilitation (rehab) goals. For the evaluation of trunk control in SCI people, still today …
Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury for Improvement of Gait
Spinal cord injuries are anatomically mostly incomplete, showing tissue bridges of the spinal cord at the injury site. Of the 60% functionally incomplete patients, about half face a life in the wheelchair. Besides conventional rehabilitation, no prominsing further treatment options exist. One of the most plastic systems involved in locomotion …
Effects of 5HTP on the Injured Human Spinal Cord
This study will assess how the serotonin precursor, 5-HTP, alter nervous system excitability and motor function in individuals with spinal cord injuries of differing chronicity and severity. Participants will visit the lab on 4 separate occasions where they will be administered four different drugs in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover …
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 …
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 …
