Randomized Controlled Trial
A secondary analysis of testosterone and electrically evoked resistance training versus testosterone only (TEREX-SCI) on untrained muscles after spinal cord injury: a pilot randomized clinical trial.
Secondary analysis of a clinical trial. ⋯ RT combined with low-dose TRT results in significant hypertrophy compared with TRT only on the adjacent untrained glutei muscles. Trunk muscles may require direct stimulation to evoke hypertrophy. These exploratory findings may be of clinical relevance in the reduction of incidence and severity of pelvic pressure injuries.

Clinical Trial
Changes in supraspinatus and biceps tendon thickness: influence of fatiguing propulsion in wheelchair users with spinal cord injury.
A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design. ⋯ Acute changes in the supraspinatus and biceps tendon after fatiguing wheelchair propulsion may explain the high prevalence of tendon injuries in this population. Future research should determine the consequences of tendon changes and its relationship to tendinopathy.
