Dalfampridine + Stimulation/Exercise
for Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to test a strategy to potentiate functional recovery of lower limb motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The FDA approved drug, Dalfampridine (4-AP). 4-AP will be used in combination of Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) stimulation and STDP stimulation with limb training.

Electrical Stimulation
for Spinal Cord Injury
This trial uses electrical stimulation techniques to help patients with partial spinal cord injuries improve their arm and hand movements. The treatment works by enhancing the timing and coordination of nerve signals, making it easier for the brain and spinal cord to control muscles. Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has been practiced as a therapy by the medical community for a long time.

Solid Backrest
for Wheelchairs
The overall objective of this fully powered clinical trial is to investigate if using a solid backrest on a manual wheelchair (MWC) will improve postural alignment, function and wheelchair mobility, as compared with an upholstery backrest, and to explore the impact of overall back height, contour, and seat gap when using a solid backrest in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
