Combining Wearable Robotic Orthosis With Visual and Haptic Feedback to Enhance the Recovery of Upper Extremity Motor Function and ADL in Persons With Acute SCI
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) is evaluating the usefulness of combining MyoMo robotic orthosis with visual and haptic feedback in ameliorating wrist/hand/UE movement capability, and increasing ADL and quality of life in people with acute SCI.
Evaluation of Vision-Guided Shared Control for Assistive Robotics Manipulators
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new control (i.e., the vision-guided shared control) for a wheelchair-mounted assistive robotic manipulator among powered wheelchair users. This study will consist of a questionnaire about general demographics, health information, and previous experience with assistive technology. Several tests will also be administered …
Epidural Stimulation After Neurologic Damage: Long-Term Outcomes
This study will evaluate the long-term effect of chronic spinal cord stimulation to restore volitional movement for patients with chronic spinal cord injuries.
Improving Bowel Function and Quality of Life After Spinal Cord Injury
Bowel dysfunction is consistently rated as one of the most common complications affecting daily life for individuals with spinal cord injury. The overall objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of specific spinal cord epidural stimulation will affect bowel function. This study will also examine how alterations …
Electrical Stimulation of Abdominal Muscles for Bowel Management in People With Spinal Cord Injury
A well-managed bowel program is an essential part of daily life for many people with a SCI. Nevertheless, constipation is frequently reported (42-95%). Constipation embraces a spectrum of harms including both physical & psychological distress. Initial exploratory studies suggest abdominal FES may be useful for decreasing overall bowel management time, …
SVF Combined With Functional Self-assembling Peptide Nanofiber Hydrogels in the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe medical problem experienced by people worldwide with high mortality and long term morbidity. Although progress has been made in understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of SCI, treatment and management protocols aimed at ameliorating neurologic damage in patients remain ineffective. Cells and biomaterials …
Efficacy of a Brain-Computer Interface Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury Neurorehabilitation
The study's main goal is to determine the efficacy of a therapy with brain-computer interface controlled functional electrical stimulation for neurorehabilitation of spinal cord injury patients' upper limbs. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial will be performed to compare the clinical and physiological effects of the brain-computer interface therapy …
Combined Therapeutic Air Mixture and Electrical Stimulation to Improve Breathing and Hand Function in Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether people with paralysis due to a spinal cord injury can benefit from breathing short intermittent bouts of air with low oxygen (O2) combined with slightly higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), interspaced by breathing room air. The technical name for …
Deep Brain Stimulation of the Lateral Hypothalamus to Augment Motor Function of Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and whether the use of DBS can increase motor performance in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The hypothesis, based on preclinical findings, is that DBS of the lateral hypothalamus …
RESTORES Trial: RESToration Of Rehabilitative Function With Epidural Spinal Stimulation
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), being a devastating diagnosis, has little to no recovery which leads to a long-standing of debilitating impairment for affected patients. The National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) Neurosurgery team, together with our collaborators, will be embarking on a new clinical pilot trial named RESTORES: RESToration of Rehabilitative function …
