Locomotor Function Following Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Individuals with Hemiplegic Stroke
Despite advances in stroke rehabilitation, more than two-thirds of the 7 million stroke survivors in the U.S. still struggle to walk independently in their communities. Most current therapies focus on stimulating the brain areas that control leg movement, yet many stroke survivors continue to face issues like poor coordination, spasticity, and muscle weakness. We propose a different approach—using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke.

COMPLETE: Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation to Improve Walking Function and Quality of Life in Individuals Post Stroke
Individuals who have had a stroke often experience difficulty walking within their homes and in the community. Current literature indicates that chronic walking deficits increase fall risk, reduce quality of life, and significantly lower levels of independence in stroke survivors.
