Spatiotemporal tSCS in Spinal Cord Injury (NCT07397559)
Spatiotemporal Control of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Motor Function in SCI
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Spinal cord injury leads to long-lasting impairment, and currently, there is no cure for paralysis. Although transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation has shown promising results in recovering lost movements, its poor selectivity in muscle recruitment compared to invasive approaches limits the type of rehabilitation exercises that can be practiced. This project studies how spatial, frequency, and amplitude control of stimulation can be used to selectively target different neural pathways and muscle groups.
