Summary

This study tests whether adding a mild electrical current to the spine during walking exercises helps people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) move better and feel steadier. Thirty adults with weakness on one side will be assigned to either walking with spinal stimulation or walking alone. Researchers will measure speed, balance, and quality of life to see if the stimulation makes a real difference.
