1182-Spinal Cord Stimulation for Post-Stroke Motor Recovery
This feasibility trial explores the use of cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a neuroprosthetic intervention to restore upper limb motor function in individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis. Researchers found that delivering electrical stimulation to the cervical spinal cord provided immediate assistive effects, significantly improving strength, dexterity, and range of motion without requiring high-dose rehabilitation. Over a four-week period, participants also showed therapeutic improvements in muscle synergies and a reduction in spasticity, even when the stimulation was…
