VR-Integrated C-Mill® Combined With Conventional Therapy in Motor-Incomplete SCI
Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent
Summary
This study investigates the effects of C-Mill® treadmill training, which integrates virtual reality and gamified tasks, combined with conventional physiotherapy, on walking ability, mobility, functional independence, and health-related quality of life in individuals with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Participants are adults aged 18 years or older with injury at the T4 level or below, classified as American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale grade C or D, and with ICD-10 codes S24.73-S24.77 or S34.70. Individuals with a history of osteoporosis, cardiopulmonary disease, other neurological disorders, joint-related conditions, or concurrent participation in another study are excluded. All participants complete a 4-week integrated rehabilitation program at a specialized spinal cord injury center. The program consists of 10 C-Mill® sessions in addition to conventional physiotherapy, targeting balance, gait, and walking speed through task-specific training and individualized exercises to improve mobility, strength, and functional skills.

C-Mill® Treadmill Training Combined with Conventional Physiotherapy
Participants received a 4-week integrated rehabilitation program consisting of 10 C-Mill® treadmill training sessions in addition to individualized conventional physiotherapy. C-Mill® sessions incorporated virtual reality and gamified tasks to improve static and dynamic balance, gait speed, stride regulation, and safe obstacle negotiation. Conventional physiotherapy targeted mobility, muscle strength, and functional skills to enhance walking performance and independence.
