摘要: Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been extensively studied due to its promising application in motor function restoration. Many previous studies have explored both the essential mechanism of action and the methods for determining optimal stimulation parameters. In contrast, the bioheat transfer analysis of tSCS therapy has not been investigated to the same extent, despite widely existing, and being of great significance in assuring a stable and thermally safe treatment. In this paper, we concentrated on the thermal …
