Summary
This study tests whether combining motor skill training with a non-invasive spinal stimulation can improve walking, balance, and strength while reducing muscle spasticity in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. Twenty-eight participants will do a series of standing exercises with or without the stimulation. The goal is to see if this approach can be done at home without fancy equipment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
motor skill training and transcutaneous spinal stimulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple home-based training program to improve walking and reduce muscle tightness after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is moderate-intensity and may not produce major improvements.
