We integrate body weight support treadmill system, other rehabilitation technology and intensive exercise into our approach to facilitate the locomotion restoration. <\/p>\n<p>By evaluating functional mobility, voluntary control of muscle activity via electromyogram, kinematic parameters via 3D motion capture with this intervention, we are investigating the effect of spinal stimulation on motor control leading improvements of daily activities.   <\/p>\n<table class=\"researcher\" style=\"float: right; margin: 15px 3px 5px 10px; width: 285px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"caption\" style=\"width: 70%; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\"><strong>Study Contact<\/strong><br \/>\nSoshi Samejima MS DPT<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:soshis@uw.edu \">soshis@uw.edu <\/a><br \/>\nGraduate Student<br \/>\nRehabilitation Sciences<\/th>\n<th><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-698\" style=\"border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 2px; float: right; display: inline-block;\" src=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/moritlab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Soshi-Samejima.jpg\" alt=\"soshi-samejima\" width=\"95%\" \/><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcutaneous stimulation on lower extremity.
