Researchers from the University of British Columbia and ICORD are looking for subjects to participate in a research study of improving function and recovery after spinal cord injury.
Purpose of this study:
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the optimal ‘dose’ of gait rehabilitation to maximize functional recovery following SCI with the [...]
We are interested in quantitatively measuring proprioceptive function (the ability to sense the position and movement of your limbs) in persons with spinal cord injury.
Your participation will involve: Two laboratory visits of 2-4 hours each, at least one week apart, at the Human Locomotion Research Laboratory at the Blusson Spinal Cord Centre (818 W 10th [...]
The Human Locomotion Research Lab at the School of Human Kinetics (UBC) recently completed a manual wheelchair movement study.
Background and purpose of research:
This study focused on achieving better understanding the neural control of wheeling; in particular, how the nervous system adapts to experience using a manual wheelchair.
