Cervical transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) applied over the cervical spine can improve upper limb motor function after paralysis. However, identifying effective and safe tSCS protocols for upper limb motor support remains challenging due to variability in stimulation parameters. We are developing anatomically and biophysically accurate, multi-scale digital twins of the cervico-thoracic body to systematically and efficiently analyze the effects of tSCS parameters on neural substrates in the spinal roots, dorsal column, and peripheral nerves.
