| contents | Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation remains a major clinical challenge, with limited treatment options for functional recovery. Temporal interference (TI) electrical stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique capable of delivering deep and targeted stimulation. However, the application of TI stimulation in SCI rehabilitation remains largely unexplored. Methods: This study aims to investigate the feasibility of applying non-invasive TI electrical stimulation for SCI rehabilitation. Through computational modeling, we analyzed the electric field distribution characteristics in the spinal cord under different TI stimulation configurations. Based on these findings, we propose a clinically applicable TI stimulation protocol for SCI rehabilitation. Results: The results demonstrate that TI stimulation can effectively deliver focused electric fields to targeted spinal cord segments while maintaining non-invasiveness. The electric field intensity varied depending on individual anatomical differences, highlighting the need for personalized stimulation parameters. The proposed protocol provides a practical framework for applying TI stimulation in SCI rehabilitation and offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional spinal cord stimulation techniques. Conclusions: This study establishes the feasibility of using non-invasive TI stimulation for SCI rehabilitation. The proposed stimulation protocol enables precise and targeted spinal cord modulation. However, further research is needed to refine personalized stimulation parameters and validate the clinical efficacy of this approach. |
