Spinal Cord
June 2024
Study Design: Non-interventional, cross-sectional pilot study.
Objectives: To establish the validity and reliability of the BioStamp nPoint biosensor (Medidata Solutions, New York, NY, USA [formerly MC10, Inc.]) for measuring electromyography in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) by comparing the surface electromyography (sEMG) metrics with the Trigno wireless electromyography system (Delsys, Natick, MA, USA).
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are at the forefront of government initiatives across the world. The SDGs are primarily concerned with promoting sustainable growth via ensuring wellbeing, economic growth, environmental legislation, and academic advancement. One of the most prominent goals of the SDG is to provide learners with high-quality education (SDG 4).

Trials have traditionally required intermittent subject visits to the clinic that are artificial, activity-intensive, and infrequent, making trend and event detection between visits difficult. Thus, there is an unmet need for wearable sensors that produce clinical quality and medical grade physiological data from subjects in the home.
