In this case report we recorded Electroencephalograph (EEG) from an individual with complete spinal cord injury during spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS). The recording was done when stimulation was ON and OFF, and when the participant made an intention to move in the two stimulation conditions. Results show that stimulation correlates with an increase in EEG power in specific brain regions involved in movement processing and control, areas such as primary motor cortex, posterior cingulate cortex and supplementary motor area. The data suggests corticospinal engagement during spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation that could facilitate functional recovery and could inform rehabilitation programs for individuals with spinal cord injury.

摘要

In this case report we recorded Electroencephalograph (EEG) from an individual with complete spinal cord injury during spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS). The recording was done when stimulation was ON and OFF, and when the participant made an intention to move in the two stimulation conditions. Results show that stimulation correlates with an increase in EEG power in specific brain regions involved in movement processing and control, areas such as primary motor cortex, posterior cingulate cortex and supplementary motor area. The data suggests corticospinal engagement during spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation that could facilitate functional recovery and could inform rehabilitation programs for individuals with spinal cord injury.
