Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the safety and feasibility of a new spinal electrical stimulation technology called RISES, which allows real-time adjustments to stimulation settings while collecting various data.
- - Four participants with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) were tested, and results showed no serious adverse effects, with stable skin integrity, vital signs, and pain levels; however, fatigue increased post-stimulation.
- - The trial compared open-loop and closed-loop stimulation methods, finding that while open-loop sessions had longer stimulation durations, there were no significant differences in setup time or other health measures between the two methods.
