Brief Summary
To determine whether the combination of non-invasive spinal cord stimulation together with gait rehabilitation reduces spasticity and facilitates recovery of lower limb motor strength and gait function in patients with incomplete SCI, as well as studying the underlying physiopathological changes following incomplete SCI and its modulation by non-invasive stimulation techniques.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female more than 18 years old; * With a stable traumatic o nor traumatic incomplete motor cervical or thoracic SCI; * Time since SCI more than 6 months; * American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS)-D who could realize gait at least 6 meters with or without technical help; * Capacity for compression the nature of the study and signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Unstable medical condition (cancer, acute infections, etc.); * Severe spasticity (≥ 3 score on the Modified Ashworth scale (MAS)), * Peripheral nerve affectation; * Ulcers on the electrode applied area; * Intolerance of tSCS.
