Summary

This trial tests if motorized cycling can help people with a spinal cord injury improve walking ability. Researchers expect it to help.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-75 with an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) at least one year post-injury. Participants must be able to walk 10 meters with or without assistive devices and have a walking speed less than 0.8 m/s. They should have upper body strength to cycle for at least 15 minutes. Those with complete paraplegia, progressive neurological diseases, significant other diseases, or contraindications for MRI/TMS are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if motor-assisted cycling involving both arms and legs can improve walking function in people with incomplete SCI. It explores whether this exercise regulates spinal movement patterns enough to restore abilities like walking.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial does not involve drugs that typically cause side effects, participants may experience fatigue from physical exertion or discomfort associated with the use of cycling equipment.
