A wireless spinal stimulation system for ventral activation of the rat cervical spinal cord

Scientific Reports, 2021
Electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord is gaining traction as a therapy following spinal cord injury; however, it is difficult to target the cervical motor region in a rodent using a non-penetrating stimulus compared with direct placement of ...

Intracranial somatosensory responses with direct spinal cord stimulation in anesthetized sheep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The efficacy of spinal cord stimulators is dependent on the ability of the device to functionally activate targeted structures within the spinal cord, while avoiding activation of near-by non-targeted structures.

Early Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation Acutely Improves Lower Urinary Tract Function in Spinal Cord Injured Rats

Neurotrauma Reports, 2022
Despite the fact that a majority of patients with an injury to the spinal cord develop lower urinary tract dysfunction, only few treatment options are available currently once the dysfunction arises.

Targeted transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation promotes persistent recovery of upper limb strength and tactile sensation in spinal cord injury: a pilot study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Long-term recovery of limb function is a significant unmet need in people with paralysis. Neuromodulation of the spinal cord through epidural stimulation, when paired with intense activity-based training, has shown promising results toward restoring ...

Effect of detraining on bone and muscle tissue in subjects with chronic spinal cord injury after a period of electrically-stimulated cycling: a small cohort study [PDF]

, 2009
Objective: To investigate adaptive changes in bone and muscle parameters in the paralysed limbs after de-training or reduced functional electrical stimulation (FES) induced cycling following high-volume FES-cycling in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI ...

Repeatability of spinal reflexes of lower limb muscles evoked by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation is a relatively new technique to evoke spinal reflexes in lower limb muscles. The advantage of this technique is that the spinal reflex responses can be obtained from multiple lower limb muscles simultaneously ...

Site-Specific Neuromodulation of Detrusor and External Urethral Sphincter by Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020
Impairments of the lower urinary tract function including urine storage and voiding are widely spread among patients with spinal cord injuries. The management of such patients includes bladder catheterization, surgical and pharmacological approaches ...
