First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine (called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation) is safe and can improve walking in children aged 3–16 with incomplete spinal cord injury. Twenty children will receive either real stimulation or a sham (fake) stimulation along with eight weeks of walking training. The goal is to see if the stimulation reduces effort and improves muscle activity and walking function.
