Description
Nikhil Chowdhary and co-authors set out a 2026 trial protocol pairing sensory electrical stimulation with virtual reality training for people with incomplete spinal cord injury. Trunk instability after such injuries undermines sitting balance, daily function, and quality of life.
The assessor-blind, two-group randomized trial will recruit 22 people with injury levels between T6 and T12 from the rehabilitation department of the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre. One group will receive VR balance training augmented with sensory electrical stimulation while the other receives the comparison program, and sitting balance plus quality of life will be scored. Earlier work supports each technique on its own in nerve-related groups, but their pairing in this group is untested. As a protocol, the article presents design and outcomes, not results.
