Fig. 1: Hemodynamic parameters in response to acute transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (scTs) in children with spinal cord injury (SCI).
From: Noninvasive spinal stimulation safely enables upright posture in children with spinal cord injury
Systolic (a) and diastolic (b) blood pressure (millimeter of Mercury, mmHg) and heart rate (c) (beats/minute) measurements during experiments at baseline (BL, 1 trial), with scTS at T11, L1 (and C5 when tolerated, 1 trial) and at the end of experiment (Post, 1 trial) graphed as means + standard deviation over 3 days of assessments for each participant (n = 7). No significant changes were observed in the systolic (F2,12 = 1.98, p = 0.18), diastolic (F2,12 = 2.27, p = 0.1462) blood pressures or heart rate (F2,12 = 0.2, p = 0.82) between the designated assessment time points at baseline, with scTS on and post experiment.
