Autonomic Effects of Stimulation in SCI
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
This study aims to determine the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation to increase blood pressure and use that device to increase power output and heart rate recovery during arm cycle ergometry. In addition, the investigators will see if the stimulation helps regulate body temperature when in a cool environment.
