Study Design: Intervention trial.
Background: Literature remains unclear on possible health benefits and risks assosciated with high intensity exercise for persons with SCI. Elevated oxidative stress levels might influence their ability to exercise at high intensity.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Objectives: It is challenging for persons with SCI, especially those who are wheelchair dependent, to find suitable and motivating aerobic exercise modes. Exergaming might be a good option, since it is relatively cheap and can be played at home, alone or with others.
Objective: To assess the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on physical, mental, and cognitive functioning after stroke.
Design: The HIIT Stroke Study was a single-blind, multicenter, parallel-group randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Specialized rehabilitation units at 3 Norwegian hospitals.
Study Design: Secondary analysis of a clinical trial.
Objectives: To investigate changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and activity level in ambulatory persons with SCI during the first year after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation.
Setting: Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital, Nesoddtangen, Norway.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Objectives: To investigate if high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exhibits a higher increase in physical capacity and activity levels compared to moderate-intensity training (MIT) and treatment as usual.
Setting: Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital.
Study Design: Randomized, assessor-blinded crossover pilot study.
Objectives: To explore the use of an intermittent negative pressure (INP) device for home use in addition to standard wound care (SWC) for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and chronic leg and foot ulcers before conducting a superiority trial.
Setting: Patient homes and outpatient clinic.
Study Design: Experimental prestudy and poststudy.
Objectives: Examine the acute effects of intermittent negative pressure (INP) applied to the lower limb on foot circulation in people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs).
Setting: Vascular laboratory, Oslo University Hospital.
