Arm and Leg Cycling for Accelerated Recovery From SCI
Sponsor: Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the ability of simultaneous motorized upper and lower extremity cycling training to regulate spinal movement patterns in order to potentially restore functional abilities (i.e., walking) in individuals with an incomplete spinal cord injury. The researchers hypothesize there will be improved walking function following motorized cycling.
