Study Summary
The ability to voluntarily move the ankles is important for walking. After spinal cord injury (SCI), this ability is impaired because of changes in the communication between the brain, spinal cord, and body. Whole body vibration (WBV) is a treatment that increases voluntary muscle control and decreases uncontrollable muscle movement in people with SCI. The purpose of this study is to understand how WBV can impact ankle control and uncontrollable muscle movement.
Primary Outcome
The participant will be seated with the foot positioned on a pressure sensitive switch embedded in a platform. Participants will be asked to voluntarily contract and relax the muscles that lift the front of the foot (while the heel stays in place on the platform) as quickly as possible for 10s for 4 trials with a 60s rest in between.
Interventions
- OTHER Electrical Stimulation
- OTHER Whole Body Vibration (WBV)
