Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation on Residual Voluntary Motor Control in Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

NCT03137108 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recently, a transcutaneous protocol of electrical spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been developed. It was suggested, that this method could be used to improve the therapy process after a spinal cord injury (SCI). The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of tSCS with different stimulation modalities on voluntary motor control in patients with incomplete SCI.

Conditions

  • Motor Control in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Persons

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation

Study intervention consists of the application of tSCS at three different frequencies (15 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz) using the CE certified electrostimulator RehaMove 3. Stimulation will only be applied by an investigator during the two testing sessions. During the overground walking, the participants will be secured and assisted with the cable-driven body-weight support system FLOAT.
