Research Abstract |
We have developed a less invasive rodent model of neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) capable of being combined with spinal cord regeneration therapy. In this study, we evaluated its ability to promote recovery of interlimb control during locomotion. The results suggested that NMES therapy could provide an effective therapeutic tool for neuromotor treatment following incomplete spinal cord injury.
