Brief Summary:
The STIMO-2 study aims to investigate TESS-supported rehabilitation training in sub-acute spinal cord injury (< 6 months post-injury). The primary endpoint of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of TESS. The preliminary effectiveness of the therapy is the secondary study endpoint. The mobility recovery status of patients, who undergo TESS-supported rehabilitation, will be assessed at 12 months post SCI, compared to their predicted recovery expectations based on standard rehabilitation program

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety Measure: occurence of Serious Adverse Event [ Time Frame: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury ]
    Occurrence of Serious Adverse Event that are deemed related or possibly related to study procedure or to study investigational system

  2. Feasibility Measure: use of TESS stimulation (in minutes) for improved mobility [ Time Frame: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury ]
    Measure of the absolute and relative usage of TESS (in minutes) during mobility rehabilitation sessions.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Preliminary effectiveness: assessment of function recovery of leg motor function using the 6 mnWT distance [ Time Frame: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury ]
    This endpoint will compare each patient's 6mnWT distance at 12 months post Date Of Injury to historical controls.

  2. Preliminary effectiveness: mobility assessment using SCIM-III mobility score [ Time Frame: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury ]
    This endpoint will compare each patient's SCIM-III mobility score at 12 months post Date Of Injury to historical controls.
