Modeling motor responses of paraplegics under epidural spinal cord stimulation [PDF]

, 2017
Epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a promising therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI). This paper combines experimental data from epidurally-stimulated human paraplegic patients with computational models of SCS to identify the electric field ...

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.

Polymer Fiber Probes Enable Optical Control of Spinal Cord and Muscle Function In Vivo [PDF]

, 2014
Restoration of motor and sensory functions in paralyzed patients requires the development of tools for simultaneous recording and stimulation of neural activity in the spinal cord.

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 ...

Use of spinal cord stimulation in managing neuropathic foot pain: an observational pilot case series study [PDF]

, 2016
Objective: In cases of complex regional pain syndrome where conservative treatment is unsuccessful in controlling neuropathic foot pain spinal cord stimulation may be considered. To our knowledge there have been no such cases reported in the foot & ankle

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spine, 2002
A literature review and synthesis were performed.To present the current understanding of the mechanisms of spinal cord stimulation in relation to the physiology of pain.Spinal cord stimulation has been used for more than 30 years in the armamentarium of the interventional pain specialist to treat a variety of pain syndromes.

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 ...

Impaired transmission in the corticospinal tract and gait disability in spinal cord injured persons [PDF]

, 2010
Rehabilitation following spinal cord injury is likely to depend on recovery of corticospinal systems. Here we investigate whether transmission in the corticospinal tract may explain foot drop (inability to dorsiflex ankle) in persons with spinal cord ...

Robotic Postural Training With Epidural Stimulation for the Recovery of Upright Postural Control in Individuals With Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study

Neurotrauma Reports
Activity-based training and lumbosacral spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) have the potential to restore standing and walking with self-balance assistance after motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI).
