Reticulospinal Tract Excitability During Different Types of Movements Primary · During intervention, *1 Day*.

This primary outcome measures changes in reticulospinal tract excitability (RST) during training as quantified by changes in reaction time after a startling auditory stimulus. RST contrubution was evaluated for dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, hip flexion movements during precision and range of motion control tasks under three conditions: with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation or without stimulation. All conditions/evaluations were performed in the same session. 30 repetitions were performed per condition during a single session and averaged for each participant. RST is a ratio calculated

Sponsor's own description

Spinal cord injury leads to long-lasting paralysis and impairment. Re-enabling movement of paralyzed areas is challenging and more information is needed about neurological recovery. The purpose of this study is to understand the contribution of individual neural tracts to movements facilitated by transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS).
