Measurement properties of wheelchair propulsion tests: minimal clinical important difference and smallest detectable difference
Research will take place in ICORD labs at the Blusson Spinal Cord Centre, for 2 testing session lasting a maximum of 3.5 hours each.
Researchers will measure how much energy and force it takes you to wheel at a comfortable speed on [...]
Researchers at ICORD are looking for people with paraplegia (with lesion level above T6) or tetraplegia to take part in a study that aims to understand more about abdominal muscle function in persons with spinal cord injury and how these muscles may be used during activities of daily living.
We will assess and classify the level [...]
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 [...]
POWER WHEELCHAIR MOBILITY STUDY
This project aims to find out how older adults adapt to their power wheelchairs over a two-year period and how these devices affect important aspects of their lives.
You can participate in this study if you:
use or are in the process of obtaining a power wheelchair;
are 50 years old or older;
live in the [...]
Dr. Bonita Sawatzky of the Department of Orthopedics, University of British Columbia is conducting a research study to measure the forces put on the wheel when wheeling, to describe the wheeling strategies of adults, and measure how these forces change over various surfaces such as carpet, tile, and inclines/ramps.
You are being invited to participate if [...]
