An interventional study of Rehabilitation therapy in Spinal Cord Injuries and Rehabilitation, sponsored by Khon Kaen University. Completed at 1 site in Thailand. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-08-28.
Sponsored by Khon Kaen University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study compares effects of 4-week walking training program on a walking track with difference surface [WTDS] and a firm ground on functional ability of ambulatory individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury [iSCI], using within- and between-group comparisons.
1,948 studies on the registry are indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries; 505 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 72 is above the median of 24 across 1,566 interventional studies indexed under Spinal Cord Injuries.

Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects are trained to walk over a walking track with different surfaces (WTDS) for 5 days over 4 weeks.
Other: Rehabilitation therapy
Subjects are trained to walk overground for 5 days over 4 weeks.
Other: Rehabilitation therapy
Subjects are trained to walk overground (control) or over WTDS (experimental) for 5 days/week over 4 week. Then they will be monthly follow-up for fall data.
Also known as: Walking training
10-meter walk test (10MWT)
Subjects walk at a comfortable pace along a 10m walkway. The test records the time use over the middle 4m of the walkway in order to minimize acceleration and deceleration effects. Then the average time over the 3 trials is converted to walking speed using the formula v=distance (m) /time (s)
Time frame: Change over 4 weeks
Timed up and go test (TUGT)
Subjects stand up from a standard armchair, walk around a traffic cone that is located 3m away from the chair, and return to sit down on the chair at a maximum and safe speed. The test records the time taken from the command "Go" until the subject's back against the backrest of the chair. Then the average times finding over the 3 trials is used for data analysis.
Time frame: Change over 4 weeks
Five times sit-to-stand test (FTSST)
The time taken to complete 5 chair-rise cycles at a fastest and safe speed is measured for each subject. Then the average time over the 3 trials is used for data analysis.
Time frame: Change over 4 weeks
6-minute walk test (6MWT)
Subjects walk along a rectangular walkway as long as possible in 6 minutes. Every minute during the test, they are informed the time left and encouraged to continue in a good manner. Subjects are able to take a period of rest as needed and continued walking as soon as they can. The distance covered after 6 minutes are recorded
Time frame: Change over 4 weeks
Incidence of fall
Then subject will be monthly monitored for the fall data during 6 months using a fall diary and telephone.
Time frame: Six months after completing the training program.
