Project: CONFIRMative neuromodulation surgery for rehabilitating people with spinal cord injury
| Acronym | CONFIRM! (Reference Number: 12743) |
| Duration | 30/04/2019 - 31/10/2021 |
| Project Topic | Currently, over 480,000 people in the EU and the US with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) are permanently wheelchair-dependent, with around 24,000 new incidents annually. Our aim is to restore free-walking capacity for these people through Space-Time-Specific Epidural Electrical Stimulation (ST-EES). In this project, we develop solutions to enable the neurosurgeon to place electrodes at the right locations on the spinal cord, which is essential for later effective rehabilitation using ST-EES. |
