Summary
This small study tested a non-invasive method of stimulating the spinal cord with electrical current to improve walking and balance in 8 people who had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Participants walked on a special mat to measure step symmetry and speed. The goal was to see if this gentle stimulation could make their gait more balanced and safer.
