What this Trial Is About
Spinal cord injury patients often present with musculoskeletal comorbidities, including osteoarthritis. Early detection of cartilage damage is important for preventing osteoarthritis progression. This study aims to compare the talar cartilage thicknesses of spinal cord injury patients with healthy subjects. The secondary aim is to investigate a correlation between the talar cartilage thickness and disease-related parameters. The patient group is to be assessed for talar cartilage thickness (via ultrasound), functional status, spasticity, and ambulation levels.
