This study is to understand how the combination of activity-based recovery training and targeted spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) can improve participants' ability to use their hand, arms, and core.
This study is to understand how the combination of activity-based recovery training and targeted spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) can improve participants' ability to use their hand, arms, and core. Activity-based recovery training aims to advance independence without the use of assistive devices. Spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation is an electrical stimulation that is provided on top of the skin over specific areas of the spinal cord to activate the circuitry for the activity that is being trained and reconnect with pathways between the brain and spinal cord. i) Physical eval…
