Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the efficacy of Closed-loop Functional Spinal Cord Stimulation on Walking Rehabilitation in Patients after Spinal Cord Injury

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Pins Medical G122 RS
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The whole course will last around 12 months, during which there will be: Pre-implant evaluations and standard rehabilitation (6-10 weeks), Stimulator implantation and stimulation optimization (4-8 weeks), Rehabilitation training with stimulation (6 months). At the end of the protocol, the study aims to make the patients walk better and faster.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Stimulation

Participants will receive pre-implantation rehabilitation, implantation of the closed-loop spinal cord stimulator, and stimulation (according to the functional mapping) assisted rehabilitation post-implantation during the trial.

Device: Pins Medical G122 RS
G122RS model implanted spinal cord stimulation device, which could give closed-loop functional stimulation in the epidural space

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. WISCI III [Change from Baseline to the 8 month after implantation.]

    A Common method used to evaluate SCI patient's walking capability in clinical setting

  2. 10-metre Walking Test 10-metre Walking Test 10-metre Walking Test 10 meter wlaking [Change from Baseline to the 8 month after implantation.]

    10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) is commonly used to measure walking speeds during two conditions: a self-selected normal speed, and a self-selected 'faster-than-normal' speed.

  3. Weight Bearing Capacity [Change from Baseline to the 8 month after implantation.]

    Weight-bearing capacity (WBC) is an important outcome to monitor and particularly relevant in patients with severe motor impairments who cannot walk independently. The investigators use LPG HUBER360 to examine subjects' weight bearing capacity
