U.S., Nov. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07223710) titled 'Improving Walking After Spinal Cord Injury' on Oct. 27.
Brief Summary: Locomotor recovery is one of the most important goals of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Ambulatory deficits severely impact daily functions resulting in lower quality of life for people living with paralysis due to SCI. Although studies have shown that locomotor training improves locomotor function in people with chronic SCI, the benefits remain limited. Our overall hypothesis is that we can engage additional descending motor pathways, such as the reticulospinal tract (RST), to improve locomotor function in humans with chronic incomplete SCI.
