Summary

This study is testing whether a device that electrically stimulates the abdominal muscles can help people with chronic spinal cord injury complete their bowel routine faster. Fifteen adults with injuries above the T11 level will use the device at home and track their bowel management time, quality of life, and any changes in bladder symptoms or hospital visits. The goal is to see if this approach can make daily bowel care more efficient and improve overall well-being.
