The Impact of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) and Gait Training on Walking Function in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
About this trial
This trial is enrolling 11 individuals with chronic spinal cord injury above T10 to test the effect of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) on walking function. TSCS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord via surface stimulation to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will undergo 24, two-hour sessions of physical therapy over 8 weeks. In each session, TSCS will be applied for 30 minutes. Final testing of walking function will be performed after 8 weeks.
