Protocol for Rapid Onset of Mobilization in Patients With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
About this trial
This is a clinical trial to test the effect of early mobilization (i.e. using an in-bed cycle machine to move the legs) on walking function after acute spinal cord injury. Eligible subjects will be invited to begin participation within 48 hours of injury. Early mobilization includes 30 minutes of in-bed cycling every day for 14 days. The effect on walking function, overall neurological function and quality of life will be assessed at 6 weeks during the trial and at 6 months at the end of the trial. Participant outcomes will also be compared to a matched group not receiving in-bed cycling.
