The Biophysical Impact of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Within a Single Session

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injuries

In brief

To determine the biophysical impact of biophysical Impact of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) within a single session. We hypothesize that subjects will demonstrate increased volitional muscle strength with TSCS. This will be assessed by isokinetic strength testing of post-injury dominant-side knee extension. Subjects will be tested in both Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation and sham conditions.
