Development of a Novel Strategy to Analyze the Effect on Gait Using Transcutaneous Spinal Current Stimulation in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Patients

Spain10 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

To determine whether the combination of non-invasive spinal cord stimulation together with gait rehabilitation reduces spasticity and facilitates recovery of lower limb motor strength and gait function in patients with incomplete SCI, as well as studying the underlying physiopathological changes following incomplete SCI and its modulation by non-invasive stimulation techniques.
