Improved Sensation With Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Following Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringIntroduction: Following spinal cord injury (SCI), recovery of sensation is often neglected despite its critical roles in motor task execution and injury prevention.

Posture of Healthy Subjects Modulated by Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2023 Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is used to restore locomotion and body weight support in patients with severe motor disorders. We studied effects of this non-invasive stimulation on postural control in healthy subjects. Stimulation at the L1-L2 vertebrae was performed to activate the extensor muscles of the lower limbs. Because

Enhanced selectivity of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation by multielectrode configuration. [PDF]
J Neural Eng, 2023 Abstract Objective. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been gaining momentum as a non-invasive rehabilitation approach to restore movement to paralyzed muscles after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, its low selectivity limits the types of movements that can be enabled and, thus,

On the use of sham transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in spinal cord injury clinical trials. [PDF]
BrainKramer et al. examine the reasons put forth by investigators for excluding a sham condition in trials of neuromodulation therapies for individuals with spinal cord injury. They conclude that current dogma does not justify this design, and emphasize the need for future trials to include appropriate controls.

Neural Substrates of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation: Neuromodulation across Multiple Segments of the Spinal Cord [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022 Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has the potential to promote improved sensorimotor rehabilitation by modulating the circuitry of the spinal cord non-invasively. Little is currently known about how cervical or lumbar tSCS influences the excitability of spinal and corticospinal networks, or whether the synergistic effects of multi-segmental

Effectiveness of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation for lower limb rehabilitation in spinal cord injury: a systematic review. [PDF]
J Neuroeng RehabilSpinal cord injury (SCI) results in devastating motor and sensory deficits below the level of injury. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique for improving motor function in individuals with SCI.
