Interventions

  • Noninvasive spinal stimulation with gait training — DEVICE
    Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Neurostimulator will deliver transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation while subjects perform locomotor activities.
  • Conventional gait training — DEVICE
    May receive up to 50 min of locomotion training without transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. However, the amount of time spent in side-lying locomotion training, treadmill training and overground training will depend on individual tolerance and progression.

Study Details

This is a randomized control trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation on gait and balance function for individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke.

Arms

  • Experimental: Noninvasive Spinal Stimulation with Gait Training
    May receive up to 50 min of locomotion training with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. However, the amount of time spent in side-lying locomotion training, treadmill training and overground training will depend on individual tolerance and progression.
  • Active Comparator: Conventional Gait Training
    May receive up to 50 min of locomotion training without transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. However, the amount of time spent in side-lying locomotion training, treadmill training and overground training will depend on individual tolerance and progression.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Step-length Symmetry Using Symmetry Index [ Time Frame: Pre and Post intervention (8 weeks of training, Post = after all training sessions completed. 3 training sessions/week x8 weeks = 24 sessions total) ]
