Testing a Non-Invasive Spinal Stimulation Device

Multi-Channel Spinal Transcutaneous Electrical Pulsed Stimulation System: STEPSS

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 10 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Gail Forrest · Academic / Other

• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare an updated spinal stimulation device with the spinal stimulation device that is currently used. Spinal stimulation is often used in studies aimed at assisting individuals with a spinal cord injury. This device was updated to improve upon limitations in the currently used device.

Conditions

• Healthy Participants

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Spinal Stimulation	Participants will lay on their back and have small electrodes placed on the center of their backs and several leg muscles. The back electrodes, connected to a battery-operated unit, will send an electrical current to the spine. The leg electrodes will record muscle activity. This will take approximately 2 hours to complete on each day. The 2 hours includes set-up/placement of the electrodes, 4 trials of stimulation with breaks, and removal of electrodes after testing.
