Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the back can reduce muscle spasticity and improve movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. Twelve participants received repeated sessions of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, and researchers measured changes in leg spasticity and motor control. The goal was to see if this approach could offer a safe, home-based treatment option.
