Electrical Stimulation for Spasticity in Spinal Cord Injury
Sponsor: University of Alberta
Summary
This study examines the immediate and long-term effects of lumbosacral TENS on spasticity and residual voluntary force control in spinal cord injury in comparison to no TENS. Participants in the intervention group will receive 2 months of TENS. Participants in the control group will receive TENS after a 2-month delay. Modified Ashworth score and pendulum test will be used to assess spasticity and force control. Electrophysiological measures will be used to assess the activity profile of motorneurons.
