Zap to walk: electrical spine stimulation trial aims to reboot mobility after brain injury

NCT ID NCT06886152

Summary

This study is testing whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the spine during walking exercises can improve mobility more than exercises alone for people with weakness on one side of their body after a traumatic brain injury. Researchers will compare walking speed, balance, endurance, and quality of life in about 30 participants who receive either real or sham stimulation during their training. The goal is to see if this combination helps the brain and spinal cord work together better to restore movement control.
