Non-invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation After Spinal Cord Injury
About this trial
This trial is enrolling 10 participants with chronic spinal cord injury to test the combined effect of treadmill training and trans-spinal electrical stimulation on trunk and lower limb function. Trans-spinal electrical stimulation is a technique for stimulating the lumbar spinal cord via surface electrodes to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will undergo treadmill walking with body weight support, augmented by muscle activation and periodic bouts of spinal stimulation. Final testing of muscle function will be performed after 6 weeks.
