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.
Background: Active upper extremity (UE) assistive devices have the potential to restore independent functional movement in individuals with UE impairment due to neuromuscular diseases or injury-induced chronic weakness. Academically fabricated UE assistive devices are not usually optimized for activities of daily living (ADLs), whereas commercially available alternatives tend to lack flexibility in control and activation methods. Both options are typically difficult to don and doff and may be uncomfortable for extensive daily use due to their lack of personalization.
