Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with mobility training

Participants will complete a 6-week in-clinic therapy phase (3 sessions per week), where a physical therapist will lead mobility training with VNS delivered via a handheld magnet. This will be followed by a 6-week at-home phase where participants continue daily exercises and VNS use, supported by weekly video calls to review at home rehabilitation activity and wearable activity monitors for remote monitoring.
