Effect of pulse characteristics used for transcutaneous spinal stimulation on short-latency responses in lower limb muscles
Defining the capacity of the lumbosacral network for neuromodulation in humans with spinal cord injury
- Objective: To determine how electrical neuromodulation affects the responsiveness of the lumbosacral network in people with spinal cord injuries. We aim to understand how spinal reflexes can demonstrate the potential for neuromodulation at different stimulation intensities and frequencies.
