Functional outcomes and participants’ perspectives during short-term application of spinal stimulation in individuals with spinal cord injury
Regardless of injury severity, location of injury, time since SCI, or SCS modality, all participants experienced gains in motor function in the presence of SCS combined with a condensed rehabilitation program. However, no evidence of sustained motor functions was found in the absence of SCS. UEQ results highlight the positive perception of SCS with rehabilitation as well as the importance of consulting persons with lived experience of SCS during clinical trial design and protocol development.<b>Trial registration:</b> ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05095454.
