Free seminar hosted by the Engineering Research Center for Sensorimotor
Neural Engineering

Thursday November 12, 2013

12:00 - 1:00 pm

6495 Alvarado Road Suite 225

 

This seminar will provide an overview of a pilot study conducted in
collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. V. Reggie Edgerton (UCLA) to
develop a therapy for spinal cord-injured (SCI) patients that is based
primarily on electrical stimulation.  The study demonstrates that following
a partial transverse spinal lesion (hemisection) at a lower thoracic level
(T8-T9), the neural circuitry within the lumbar region that controls
weight-bearing and stepping remains functional, and can be activated if
appropriate sensory (afferent) information from the periphery is provided.

 

See attached flyer for information.
