fMRI In Spinal Cord Injury Patient After Rehabilitation

FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (fMRI) OF THE SENSORIMOTOR CORTEX IN SPINAL CORD INJURY PATIENT AFTER INTENSIVE REHABILITATION INCLUDING ROBOTIC DEVICES

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 7 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Nove de Julho · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 15 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients after Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training (BWSTT) associated with conventional motor rehabilitation. The investigators hypothesized that training with weight bearing associated with conventional motor rehabilitation will be able to reorganize the brain.

Conditions

• Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Treadmill gait training	Five days a week, 40 sessions of Kinesiotherapy (passive and active mobilizations, muscle lengthening), Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training, bicycle, manual therapy (with and without assistance of a mechanical device) and daily life activities training.
