STUDY BASICS
Are you between the ages of 18 and 65 and not affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy? We are recruiting healthy volunteers to participate in a research study to compare healthy subject's range of motion and motor mechanics to those who will be using spinal cord stimulation (SCS) SCS has shown the ability to promote the recovery of leg motor function in people with complete motor paralysis.
