Grant Activity:
Neurostimulation to improve walking after spinal cord injury
Purpose:
This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will determine if transcutaneous spinal electrical stimulation combined with locomotor training can restore walking ability in people with spinal cord injury. The trial will include people with incomplete SCI from Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. We will also examine the effects on neurological function, spasticity, neuropathic pain and quality of life. We expect that any physical improvements will also improve mental wellbeing and functional independence.
