Jan. 26 live webcast: restoring movement & function after SCI with Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation

Researchers from the Restorative Technologies Laboratory at the University of Washington have been hard at work studying the use of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on spinal cord injury. This involves applying electrodes to the skin over the spinal cord to improve hand and arm function for people with tetraplegia and to improve locomotion for those with paraplegia or incomplete injuries. On Wed., Jan. 26th at 7 p.m. PST, you can expect to learn of an update since their last one in 2018 so we can understand how these studies have been progressing since then and how do the researchers envision this technology will be used.
