Testing Non-Invasive Spinal Stimulation Devices
Sponsor: Gail Forrest
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare updated spinal stimulation devices with the spinal stimulation device that is currently used. Spinal stimulation is often used in studies aimed at assisting individuals with a spinal cord injury. These devices were updated to improve upon limitations in the currently used device. The devices will be compared in a group of people without spinal cord injury or other nervous system conditions.

Interventions
Spinal Stimulation
Participants will lay on their back and have small electrodes placed on the center of their backs and several leg muscles. The back electrodes, connected to a battery-operated unit, will send an electrical current to the spine. The leg electrodes will record muscle activity. This will take approximately 4 hours to complete on each day. The 4 hours includes set-up/placement of the electrodes for each device, 4 trials of stimulation for each device with breaks, and removal of electrodes after testing on each device.
