NCT01426555

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

This is a research study to determine the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) rowing and a drug called zoledronic acid in bone health. The investigators hoped to learn if zoledronic acid treatment will increase bone mineral density in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) who received it.
