入选标准

  • A person will be eligible to participate if they:
  • have a SCI sustained a minimum of 12 months prior to consent
  • have bilateral motor levels between T1 and T11
  • have a Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II (WISCI II) between Level 1 and 6*
  • have a reproducible, voluntary muscle flicker/contraction in at least one muscle that flexes or extends the hip, knee, ankle or big toe, on either side of the body
  • are willing and able to participate in the stimulation/locomotor training program 3 times a week for 12 weeks, including one follow-up visit at 16 weeks
  • are aged 16 years or over at the time of consent and able to give informed consent
  • are considered by their spinal specialist to be medically stable to undertake the program (including clearance for standing/locomotor training)
  • *1 = Ambulates in parallel bars, with braces and physical assistance of two persons, but less than 10 metres
  • 6 = Ambulates with walker, with braces and physical assistance of one person, 10 metres

排除标准

  • A person will be ineligible to participate if they:
  • have a history of clinically significant autonomic dysreflexia in response to electrical stimulation
  • cannot tolerate transcutaneous spinal stimulation at a therapeutic intensity
  • have a history of hypotension in response to prolonged standing
  • have a progressive neurological disease and any other major neurological lesion additional to the spinal cord injury, e.g., a severe traumatic brain injury or stroke
  • have a history of long-bone fracture, family history of fragility fracture or any disorders of the bone, such as Paget’s disease
  • have a syringomyelia (syrinx) on recent MRI. Radiological findings such as myelomalacia which have been evaluated by a neurosurgeon as non-progressive may still be eligible
  • have had open surgery within the last 3 months
  • unable to elicit reflexes whilst experiencing the stimulation suggesting a lower motor neurone lesion
  • have severe lower limb spasticity (MAS = 4 in any lower limb muscle)
  • have extensive lower limb contractures preventing ambulation
  • have any serious medical condition, cognitive impairment, drug dependency, psychiatric illness or behavioural problem preventing them from adhering to the protocol
  • have an existing pressure ulcer Stage 3 or 4 according to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel classification
  • have a previous pressure ulcer treated with a myocutaneous flap using a graft from a locomotor muscle such as the gluteal or hamstring
  • have any contraindications to electrical spine stimulation such as cardiac pacemaker, lower limb fracture, baclofen pump, pregnancy, or implanted electronic devices
  • have an upper limb injury preventing prolonged weight bearing through their arms
  • have had stem cell or olfactory ensheathing cell therapy within the last 5 years
  • are actively participating, or are in the follow-up period, of any other clinical trials
