About this trial

This trial is enrolling 30 participants with neurologic injury (e.g., spinal cord injury) or amputation to test the effect of a functional electrical stimulation (FES) suit on walking function. FES is a technique that applies electrical stimulation through the skin to nerves to cause contraction of weakened or paralyzed muscles. If included, participants will complete up to 12 supervised sessions using the the Neuro20 Functional Electrical Stimulation Suit, beginning with 3 conditioning sessions followed by 9 strength sessions, each lasting 1–2 hours. Final testing of walking function will be performed after 4 weeks.
