Modulation of Forward Propulsion and Foot Dorsiflexion by Spinal and Muscular Stimulation During Human Stepping

Life
(1) Background: We developed a novel technology that regulates human locomotion using transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation to activate spinal locomotor networks and posterior root stimulation to activate leg flexor and extensor motor pools ...

Spinal Regulation of Posture: Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord and Affective Sound Stimulation

Life
The combined effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (tES) of the spinal cord and affective sound stimulation on postural control were investigated to elucidate the involvement of spinal networks in the maintenance of vertical stability. Healthy

Noninvasive Electromagnetic Neuromodulation of the Central and Peripheral Nervous System for Upper-Limb Motor Strength and Functionality in Individuals with Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Sensors
(1) Background: Restoring arm and hand function is one of the priorities of people with cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI). Noninvasive electromagnetic neuromodulation is a current approach that aims to improve upper-limb function in individuals with SCI.

Ergogenic effects of spinal cord stimulation on exercise performance following spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Cervical or upper-thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI, ≥T6) often leads to low resting blood pressure (BP) and impaired cardiovascular responses to acute exercise due to disrupted supraspinal sympathetic drive.
