Breathing Low Oxygen to Enhance Spinal Stimulation Training and Functional Recovery in Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
Walking recovery is a key goal after spinal cord injury (SCI). While some patients experience spontaneous recovery due to preserved neural circuits, many struggle to achieve independent ambulation, and those who do often face persistent deficits. There is growing consensus that a single approach is insufficient to overcome these challenges, prompting the need for combined interventions.

Multimodal Haptic Feedback for Plantar Sensory Substitution
Plantar sensation is crucial for gait, balance, and posture, and its loss contributes to movement disorders in conditions like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, stroke, and spinal cord injury. Current diagnostic methods use pressure sensor arrays to assess gait deficiencies, with wireless insole technology extending data collection beyond clinical settings. Building on these advances, we are investigating sensory substitution as a potential solution to restore lost plantar sensation and improve outcomes for affected individuals.

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for Exercise and Self-Efficacy Tracking
This study aims to understand if remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) is useful in tracking long term physical activity participation and improving self-efficacy and readiness for exercise. Participants will use their own wearable activity tracker.
Clinical Trial
Focus Group: Care Partners of People with SCI
Researchers at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab are recruiting for an online focus group to learn about the experiences and outcomes of people living with spinal cord injuries, and how they are related to the length and intensity of rehabilitation services across countries. The purpose of the study is to learn how rehabilitation experiences and outcomes are related to rehabilitation length of stay across different countries.
