This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are studying transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS)—a non-invasive electrical treatment applied to the skin over your spinal cord. This trial will test whether using different patterns of electrical stimulation (varying where the electrodes are placed, how fast they pulse, and how strong they are) can help your leg muscles work better and give you more control over your movements.
Currently, there is no cure for paralysis from spinal cord injury, and treatment options are limited. Researchers know that this electrical stimulation combined with exercise can help some people regain walking ability and control, but they want to understand exactly how to fine-tune the stimulation to target specific muscles and maximize each person's recovery potential.

You will visit the research center to perform leg movements and exercises under three different conditions: with no stimulation, with standard electrical stimulation, and with customized electrical stimulation patterns. During each session, researchers will measure how your muscles respond, how much force you can generate, and any discomfort you feel. The study will help researchers understand which stimulation patterns work best for targeting specific muscles, so they can eventually create personalized treatments tailored to your needs.
