Objective

The Shirley Ryan 汤头条app is seeking participants with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) to study the effects of combined arm and leg cycling on an individual’s walking ability.

During the study, participants will complete 5 training sessions (~1.5hrs per session) per week with cycling for 12 consecutive weeks.

Additionally, we will complete several assessments at baseline, at 3-week intervals during the training period, after the training period, and 6 months after the training period. The assessments include tests for sense, strength, balance, stability, spasticity/stiffness, walking speed, walking distance, muscle strength, gait analysis, muscle responses due to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of your brain, and brain-muscle connectivity via electro-encephalography (EEG). The assessments (~7hrs per timepoint) may be split across several days.

Who Can Participate

  • Incomplete spinal cord injury at T11 or above, at least 1 year ago
  • Incomplete paraplegia or tetraplegia
  • Injury occurred at least 1 year ago
  • Able to walk independently for at least 10 meters (30 feet)
  • Walking speed is slower than 2.62ft per second
  • Able to arm cycle for at least 15 min
  • English speaking adults, 18-75 years

Compensation

Participants will be compensated up to $900 for their time and effort in completing all study visits including the 6-month follow-up visit. Parking in the Shirley Ryan 汤头条app garage will be covered with vouchers.

Research Survey: Answer questions about your experience receiving Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)

The purpose of this study is to test a set of surveys designed to determine if Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are person-centered. Person-centered HCBS are based on what is important to the person receiving the services and are designed to help the recipient live the life they want to live. In order to determine if HCBS are person-centered, a set of surveys has been developed to measure the person-centeredness (or not) of HCBS. You will be helping to see if the surveys measure what they are intended to measure.
You will be asked questions about your daily life and your experience using HCBS.
