Motor & Autonomic Concomitant Health Improvements With Neuromodulation & Exercise Training: An SCI RCT

Therapeutic TSCS will be delivered during ABT using a non-invasive central nervous system stimulator (TESCoN, SpineX Inc., CA, USA). Stimulation will involve charge balanced monophasic rectangular waveforms with 1.0-ms pulses, administered at 30 Hz, with a carrier frequency of 10 kHz and a current ranging from 10 to 130 mA.

Ineffective stimulation will be administered at the same anatomical location as therapeutic TSCS.

"Using BWSTT, all participants (both arms) will train 3 times per week for 12 weeks with a target to reach 45 minutes of gait training in each session.~For gait training, the level of body weight support and speed of walking will be adjusted to allow the person to bear as much weight as possible while maintaining proper stance limb kinematics."
