The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) in conjunction with conventional rehabilitation in helping with the recovery of bladder function in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). The study team will assess immediate TSCS efficacy when the stimulation is turned on, as well as the persisting effects of TSCS (e.g. any changes in function) that remain after the stimulation is turned off and after several weeks of regular stimulation.

The purpose of this study is to: investigate the feasibility of using virtual reality (e.g. the Saebo-VR) after acquired brain injury to target activities; understand clinician opinions towards virtual reality technology who are working in adult brain injury rehabilitation; and understand the opinions of people with acquired brain injury who have used virtual reality technology.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TCSCS) on cardiovascular, bladder, bowel and sexual function in people with spinal cord injury. The study team is interested in the immediate, long-term and longer-term effects (eight weeks after cessation of therapy) of non-invasive stimulation on these functions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the user-friendliness and trustworthiness of a website called My Guide Concussion – Teen Edition. B.C. and Yukon have limited medical resources for concussion management, so the My Guide Concussion – Teen Edition website was developed as an online concussion resource and self-management guide for adolescents recovering from concussion. The study will determine whether the website satisfies the needs of patients, caregivers and other stakeholders. Results of this study will inform revisions to the site to improve its usability and scalability.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of a new telerehabilitation system, the PhysViz, by comparing it to an older method using standard clinic-based equipment known as the Biodex. Specifically, the team will be studying whether the amount of strain in the Achilles tendon measured is the same in both systems. Knowledge gained from this research will help the team develop future studies to test out the effectiveness of the tool for home-based strength training.
