Welcome to Kessler Foundation’s 2019 Evening of Discovery and Discussion. A panel discussion about our transcutaneous and epidural stimulation research.
Joining us this evening is panel moderator Steve Adubato, PhD, our distinguished panelist Gail Forrest, PhD, Director of Kessler Foundation’s Center for Spinal Stimulation, Steven Kirshblum, MD, Kessler Foundation’s Chief Medical Officer and Co-Director of the Center for Spinal Stimulation, Guang Yue, PhD, Director of Kessler Foundation’s Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research and research participants Natalie Barrett from New Jersey, Jimmy Brown from New York, and Kelly Thomas from Florida.
The Center for Spinal Stimulation at Kessler Foundation will explore two groundbreaking treatments for recovery after spinal cord injury: transcutaneous stimulation and epidural stimulation. Transcutaneous stimulation, a non-invasive treatment, applies an electrical current to the skin overlying the spinal cord. Epidural stimulation applies a continuous electrical current to the spinal cord through a surgically implanted stimulator. In initial studies, these treatments, along with physical therapy, have restored function for people with paralysis.
Researching transcutaneous stimulation and epidural stimulation will help Kessler Foundation scientists understand neuroplasticity and the neural mechanisms behind the restoration of neurological function.
