Modulation of spinal neuronal excitability by spinal direct currents and locomotion after spinal cord injury

Highlights ► Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) alters neuronal activity. ► TsDCS might be a new noninvasive neuromodulatory tool after spinal cord injury (SCI). ► Sham and cathodal tsDCS decreases spinal neuronal excitability in healthy subjects. ► Anodal tsDCS and locomotion...

Summary:Highlights ► Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) alters neuronal activity. ► TsDCS might be a new noninvasive neuromodulatory tool after spinal cord injury (SCI). ► Sham and cathodal tsDCS decreases spinal neuronal excitability in healthy subjects. ► Anodal tsDCS and locomotion increases spinal neuronal excitability in SCI subjects.
