Summary
The primary objective of this study is to gather information about the effectiveness of abdominal FES to improve bowel management time (BMT) for people with chronic SCI. This study will also evaluate whether abdominal FES can improve: 1) bowel-related quality of life, 2) participant-reported bowel function, 3) bowel management strategy, 4) bladder symptoms, and 5) unplanned hospital admissions. In addition, we will also explore participant perspectives and experiences about the stimulation sessions and use of the device.
