Brain Controlled Spinal Cord Stimulation In Participants With Spinal Cord Injury For Lower Limb Rehabilitation
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
3 participants
May 3, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and effectiveness of using a cortical recording device (ECoG) combined with lumbar targeted epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord to restore voluntary motor functions of lower limbs in participants with chronic spinal cord injury suffering from mobility impairment. The goal is to establish a direct bridge between the motor intention of the participant and the the spinal cord below the lesion, which should not only improve or restore voluntary control of legs movement and support immediate locomotion, but also promote neurological recovery when combined with neurorehabilitation.

Interventions
Implantation of a 64 channel - ECoG array over the sensory motor cortex of the lower limbs, combined with an implantation of 16 channel spinal cord stimulation system over the lumbar region. The decoded motor intentions are driving the implanted spinal cord stimulation system. Brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation is used for training and rehabilitation to recover voluntary movements.
