Spinal Plasticity to Enhance Motor Retraining After Stroke
Plasticity in the Spinal Cord to Enhance Motor Retraining After Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Sept 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The objective of this project is to study the effects of an emerging noninvasive neuromodulation strategy in human stroke survivors with movement-related disability. Muscle weakness after stroke results from the abnormal interaction between cells in the brain that send commands to control movement and cells in the spinal cord that cause muscles to produce movement. The neuromodulation strategy central to this project has been shown the strengthen the physical connection between both cells, producing a change in movement potential of muscles weakened by stroke.
