Correction of Spinal Curvatures by Transcutaneous Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Spine, 1983
Transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation was used to induce acute scoliosis of up to 56 degrees in straight cat spines. Conversely in humans, surface muscle stimulation was able to acutely correct 35 idiopathic scoliosis curves an average of 44%. The amount of correction obtained increased linearly with the length of the skeletal lever arms (

Effects of cervical transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation on spinal excitability

Clinical Neurophysiology
To investigate the effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) on spinal cord excitability using neurophysiological methods.Spinal cord motoneuron excitability was assessed using various neurophysiological techniques in a sham-controlled randomized experiment, which involved delivering 2 mA tsDCS and testing four different ...

Automated Selectivity-Driven Algorithm for Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation

2025 International Conference On Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs motor function and quality of life. Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (tSCS) is a non-invasive method to restore motor function by activating spinal circuits below the lesion. However, its effectiveness is limited by individual variability, reliance on manual electrode placement, and offline muscle analysis.

Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation of the lumbar and sacral spinal cord: a modelling study

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2018
Our aim was to perform a computational study of the electric field (E-field) generated by transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) applied over the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinal cord, in order to assess possible neuromodulatory effects on spinal cord circuitry related with lower limb functions.A realistic volume conductor model of ...

Spinal reflex in human lower leg muscles evoked by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2009
The H-reflex is one of the most common and useful techniques in the field of motor control. However, the H-reflex technique also involves difficulty in data interpretation when stimulus intensity is high enough to stimulate both sensory and motor fibers (antidromic current). On the other hand, transcutaneous stimulation applied on the spinous processes

Finite Element Models of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation

2013
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a noninvasive method to electrically stimulate afferent structures of the human lumbar spinal cord. These are the same neural targets as predominantly activated by epidural implants. Biophysical principles derived from computer simulations contributed to the identification of the directly activated neural

On carrier frequency in transcutaneous spinal cord electrical stimulation: a narrative review

Journal of Neural Engineering
Abstract Objective. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) using kilohertz frequency carrier modulation has emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulation approach to improve motor recovery and reduce pain. Early application of 5–10 kHz modulated pulses for tSCS has shown promising results in spinal cord (SC) injury ...
