-
Training program to improve health for wheelchair users
This study is testing a new training program to help wheelchair users improve their health by being more active and seeing if it works better than just providing education and support.
-
Using electrical stimulation to improve recovery after Achilles tendon rupture
This study tests if using electrical stimulation on the calf muscles can help people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture compared to standard care.
-
Exercise program for kidney transplant recipients
