Presented at the SCI Forum on January, 26, 2022.
Researchers from the Restorative Technologies Laboratory in the University of Washington have been hard at work studying transcutaneous electrical stimulation on spinal cord injury. This involves applying electrodes to the skin over the spinal cord to improve hand and arm function for people with tetraplegia and to improve locomotion for those with paraplegia or incomplete injuries. We last spoke with the team in 2018 - how have these studies been progressing since then? How do they envision this technology will be used? Join us as Fatma Inanici, MD, PhD discusses their findings over the last several years. She reviews how transcutaneous electrical stimulation works, shares some of the setbacks and successes along the way, and discusses what the future of this exciting technology holds.
