Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation on Residual Voluntary Motor Control in Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
About this trial
This trial is recruiting individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries to test the effect of three different frequencies of spinal cord stimulation during walking training. Researchers will apply skin-surface (transcutaneous) stimulation while participants use a device that partially supports body weight. Researchers want to see whether the stimulation impacts walking and voluntary motor control, and if so, which frequencies work best. Participants will receive 2 training sessions with the electrical stimulation.
