Noninvasive Transspinal Stimulation for SCI Rehabilitation

The key message of this research study is the use of noninvasive transspinal stimulation to increase the effectiveness of traditional rehabilitation such as locomotor training in individuals with SCI and probably for other types of upper motoneuron lesions. This will change the standard of care promoting noninvasive approaches of rehabilitation relying on scientific evidence and not on anecdotal observations. We will communicate our key findings via the following avenues: Broadcast media: academic journals, book chapters, technical reports, regular newspapers, special interest newsletters, radio, or television interviews, websites, and social media such as Twitter, local and national SCI foundation newsletters, development of links with key SCI organizations. Personal contact: Clinical Specialty associations, Informal professional networks, Professional conferences, Professional meetings (e.g., grand rounds), workshops and other continuing medical education training.
