Sponsor's own description
Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI) is a catastrophic, unexpected, and devastating event that can occur along the spinal column (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar). Traditional views describe the spinal cord as a protected bundle of nerves connecting the brain to the body. TSCI often results in life-threatening conditions including varying degrees of motor paralysis, sensory loss, and impairment of bowel, bladder, sexual, and other physiologic functions. In this study, the investigators propose a new experimental rehabilitative protocol for TSCI patients called the Neural Motor Recruitment Method (NEUROM). This method is based on histological and functional reorganization models following TSCI, Motor Imagery (MI) concepts, and targeted sensory inputs related to motor recovery. It is hypothesized that this new method can enhance sparing-induced plasticity and increase motor and sensory recovery in SCI patients, especially when combined with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).
