Thesis
Model-driven stimulation for targeted functional restoration in chronic spinal cord injury
- Abstract:
-
Spinal cord injury is a significant cause of disability worldwide. Interruption of white matter tracts results in a loss of function below the level of the injury with a devastating impact on quality of life. Recent work on epidural electrical stimulation combined with rehabilitation has, however, challenged the traditional narrative that the resulting disability is irreversible following the acute phase. Using spatiotemporally patterned stimulation to activate specific spinal nerve roots at ...
