Grant Activity:
Driving functional recovery after spinal cord injury using transcutaneous electrical spinal cord neuromodulation (TESCoN)
Purpose:
This project addresses a significant unmet need for people who have lost the use of their arm and hand after spinal cord injury. Regaining this is ranked as their highest priority. An early phase flexible design trial will investigate whether a novel non-invasive method of spinal cord stimulation in early and late stages post-injury improves upper limb function. Recovery of arm and hand function would have a substantial impact on potential for employment, independence and quality of life.
