Lung Function Tests 🫁 Research has shown that SCI can negatively impact your lung function. The results from using a spirometer are useful within our research as they help us to design and implement new and exciting ways of increasing these scores 😁

We're looking to recruit a research assistant on a casual contract to assist with running current and upcoming clinical trials, which involve neuro-stimulation paired with exercise, for people with a spinal cord injury. Apply through our Seek ad here! buff.ly/3WrJ47Y

Sydney Disability Expo 2024! ✨ Rachel and Nadine represented the SCIRC team this year at the Sydney disability Expo event in Olympic Park. It was great to see some familiar faces and meet new ones, as well as enjoying the tasty treats and multiple stalls. 😁

🎙️ What It Is Like To Be A Researcher In Spinal Cord Injury? Listen here: buff.ly/49hYAHM Our Claire Boswell-Ruys talks to SCIA's Susan Wood about our current spinal cord injury #scientific #research, how we design trials and why we can't do everything we'd like to!

Let's talk about recruitment! Prof. Jane Butler of the SCIRC team has written a fantastic piece on navigating the complexities of Clinical Trial recruitment in which she discusses both the barriers and solutions. Check out the link below! @spinalcure buff.ly/4782Zxp

Our new eWALK 2 trial is a Phase 3 trial - but what does this mean? Phase 3: In this phase, we conduct a larger trial to confirm the therapy’s benefits and ensure it’s ready for broader clinical use. We compare it to existing treatments or a placebo. #SCI #Research
