Zap and play: electrical pulses and video games team up to fight falls after spinal injury
NCT ID NCT05940636
Summary
This study tested a new therapy to help people with partial spinal cord injuries improve their balance and reduce the risk of falls. Seventeen participants tried a combination of gentle electrical stimulation to the back and legs while playing balance-focused video games that gave them visual feedback. Researchers wanted to see if this combined approach could strengthen the brain's connection to the legs better than electrical stimulation alone.
