Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

DEVICE

FES Stepping (RT600 from Restorative Therapies, INC.)

You will be transferred to the RT600 device and secured in a support harness. We will place your legs onto the RT600 device and secure them with straps. Electrodes (pads that stick to the skin) will be placed on your skin on your legs, buttock, stomach, and back. The pads will be connected to a stimulator box through a wire. We will then start the stepping motor and stimulate your muscles with electric current. This will cause your legs to step. You will do this for 1 hour.
