Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation (TcESCS)
TcESCS is a non-invasive DC battery powered device. Investigators and/or research team members will continually assess the appropriate stimulation parameters including configurations, current, voltage and frequency delivered by up to five active electrodes applied on skin of the back from cervical to lumbar levels. Stimulation parameters used during experimental assessments and interventions will be closely monitored by the research team. Every research participant will be slowly acclimated to stimulation. Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and electromyography will be closely monitored while we are determining the correct stimulation parameters in the lab. During the stimulation training sessions, we will monitor blood pressure regularly throughout the session.
