Development of a Novel Strategy to Analyze the Effect on Gait Using Transcutaneous Spinal Current Stimulation in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Patients
About this trial
This trial is enrolling 10 participants with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury to test the effect of transcutaneous spinal stimulation (tSS) combined with gait rehabilitation on walking function. tSS is a non-invasive technique that uses surface electrodes to deliver electrical stimulation aimed at modifying spinal cord function. If included, participants will be assigned to complete gait rehabilitation, then gait rehabilitation with tSS, followed by another course of gait rehabilitation without tSS. Final testing of walking function will be performed after 4 weeks.
