A Clinical Feasibility Study of Spinal Evoked Compound Action Potential Estimation Methods

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Recently, SCS has been enhanced further with evoked compound action potential (ECAP) sensing. Characteristics of the ECAP, if appropriately isolated from concurrent stimulation artifact (SA), may be used to control, and aid in the programming of, SCS systems.

Flexor Reflex Decreases during Sympathetic Stimulation in Chronic Human Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A better understanding of autonomic influence on motor reflex pathways in spinal cord injury is important to the clinical management of autonomic dysreflexia and spasticity in spinal cord injured patients.

Systematic Literature Review of Spinal Cord Stimulation in Patients With Chronic Back Pain Without Prior Spine Surgery

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objective Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and one of the most common reasons for seeking healthcare. Despite numerous care strategies, patients with low back pain continue to exhibit poor outcomes. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an evidence‐based therapeutic modality for patients with failed back surgery syndrome ...

Tapping into rhythm generation circuitry in humans during simulated weightlessness conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An ability to produce rhythmic activity is ubiquitous for locomotor pattern generation and modulation. The role that the rhythmogenesis capacity of the spinal cord plays in injured populations has become an area of interest and systematic investigation ...

Weight Bearing Over-ground Stepping in an Exoskeleton with Non-invasive Spinal Cord Neuromodulation after Motor Complete Paraplegia

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
We asked whether coordinated voluntary movement of the lower limbs could be regained in an individual having been completely paralyzed (>4 year) and completely absent of vision (>15 year) using two novel strategies—transcutaneous electrical spinal ...

The Roles of Physical Therapists in Wound Management: Part IV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Physical therapists are important members of the comprehensive wound management team. In addition to being able to provide standard wound care, they are well prepared to treat wounds with a variety of biophysical agents that introduce electromagnetic ...

Influence of Spine Curvature on the Efficacy of Transcutaneous Lumbar Spinal Cord Stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation is a non-invasive method for neuromodulation of sensorimotor function. Its main mechanism of action results from the activation of afferent fibers in the posterior roots—the same structures as targeted by epidural stimulation.

Transcutaneous spinal stimulation in people with and without spinal cord injury: Effect of electrode placement and trains of stimulation on threshold intensity

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSS) is purported to improve motor function in people after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, several methodology aspects are yet to be explored.

Neurophysiological and clinical outcome measures of the impact of electrical stimulation on spasticity in spinal cord injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022
This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine whether non-invasive electrical stimulation (ES) is effective at reducing spasticity in people living with spinal cord injury (SCI).
