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. The investigators also want to find out if zoledronic acid is safe for persons with SCI to take without causing too many side effects.
