A Comparison of Robotic, Body Weight-Supported Locomotor Training and Aquatic Therapy in Chronic Motor Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury Subject
Abstract
At the end of study year 3 we completed all expected enrollment as per protocol. All necessary IRB approvals were obtained, and all regulatory documents submitted including the annual IRB continuing review, this approval will be available early November. All study personnel hold current certifications in order to participate in research. Multiple meetings occurred, both in person (at ASIA conference in Chicago, May 2013) and via monthly teleconferencing in order to coordinate activities between the Baltimore and the Atlanta sites. Thirty-six research participants initiated the study (with 5 drop outs) by the September 30, 2013 end of enrollment date. Currently 5 participants remain in an intervention arm in Baltimore (with 2 finishing the study by mid-October); and 3 individuals remain active at Shepherd. We are on target to complete all interventions by April 2014. Screening data entry and analysis is initiated and we are eager to begin outcome data assessment. One manuscript is published, one is in press, and 6 presentations (platform and poster) occurred from our study proposal and screening data analysis to date.
