Technology
This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Fatma Inanici from the University of Washington who is conducting a transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation study to restore hand and arm function in cervical level spinal cord injuries. We spoke about the trials that have been completed and their success, the next set of trials getting ready to begin, and the role this technology could play in restoring some lower body functionality. Please Do Not try any of this at home with electrodes or a TENS unit, they are using special layered electricity to prevent injury.
If you have an incomplete cervical level spinal cord injury and would like to participate in the next round of trials please contact Dr. Inanici at finanici@uw.edu
