ABSTRACT
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has emerged as an effective, non-invasive neuromodulatory technique to improve spasticity and walking performance in neurological conditions. While its primary applications are often in stroke rehabilitation, the technique has also shown promise in conditions such as spinal cord injury (SCI), multiple sclerosis (MS), and cerebral palsy. This review focuses on electrode placement over T11–T12, highlighting its effects on spasticity and motor performance. The review explores studies across different patient populations to evaluate the generalizability of these findings.
Key words: transcutaneous spinal stimulation, spasticity, stroke, multiple sclerosis, walking performance
