Initial feasibility evaluation of the RISES system: An innovative and activity-based closed-loop framework for spinal cord injury rehabilitation and recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord may improve rewiring of the affected pathways. Immediate modulation of stimulation parameters, and its effects of it on kinematics and electromyographic variables is unclear.

Methods

This study piloted the safety and feasibility of the Reynolds Innovative Spinal Electrical Stimulation (RISES) technology with a focus on its novel closed-loop setting. This personalized, task-specific non-invasive stimulation system enables real-time stimulation parameter modulation and supports multi-data acquisition and storage. Four SCI participants underwent a clinical trial coupled with activity-based training. Primary safety outcome measures included adverse events (AEs) and skin integrity; secondary measures were vital signs, pain, and
