Just get on it.”<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>DO YOU KNOW SOMEONES WHO’S LIFE COULD CHANGE ON THESE TRIALS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p>Or could you benefit yourself? If you suffer from a Spinal Cord Injury or know someone who does then please get in touch. We need people to help us bring this amazing new technology out of research and into our everyday lives.<\/p>\n\t<strong>WHAT IS<br \/>\nNEUROSTIMULATION?<\/strong>\n\t<p>Neurostimulation is using electricity to stimulate the spinal cord. Traditionally we’ve only been able to stimulate the muscles directly. Now we can hone into the nerves that control the muscles directly from the spinal cord itself. It’s a simple idea but it has potentially revolutionary results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you think of a spinal injury like a crash on a 4-lane motorway. Some roads are blocked, Neurostimulation finds ways to get around these blockages so the traffic can still flow. Messages from the brain can still reach their destination. Watch the video for a full breakdown, it’s truely fascinating and life changing.<\/p>\n\t<p>YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-0\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"> What is Project Spark?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-0\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-0\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Project Spark is a 5-year program of clinical trials and community-based studies across Australia.
