C-5 C-6 Complete SCI | Cervical Epidural Stimulation
In this procedure, electric current is provided to the specific parts of our body. The stimulation process is carried out with the help of a little chip. This chip is implanted over the protective coating of the spinal cord. The frequency as well as intensity of the electric current is maintained with the help of a remote. When the stimulator is turned on, paralyzed people are able to move their legs. It also needs the help of extensive training.
In our spinal cord, there are circuits present that processes information on their own without any assistance of the brain. The epidural stimulation is based on the capability of the reflexes. The electric current that is sent out is able to re activate the spinal circuits. This allows the connection between the spinal cord and the brain to control some of the movements of the leg.
The process of epidural stimulation is undergone to improve spinal cord injury related functions which are related to cardiovascular and other autonomic nervous system.
