Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TScS) has ventured out of the “research realm” and is now available in the clinic. Harborview Medical Center was the first facility to purchase an ArcEx device. Join us for a comprehensive look at what is happening in practice. Kendl Sankary, MD, Assistant Professor and Director of the Harborview Rehabilitation Medicine Clinic, will begin by sharing what the therapy is approved for, how the clinic identifies eligible patients, and initiates treatment. Next, Jenevive Obleada, OTR/L, CBIS, Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic at Harborview Medical Center, will walk attendees through the clinical process - from the first intake visit to the hands-on setup of the Arc-Ex system, including electrode placement, session structure, treatment adjustments, and the overall flow of therapy. The session will conclude with two patients who have participated in the TScS program; they will talk about their injuries and function, describe how they learned about TScS, discuss their experiences with the therapy, and share insights on challenges, functional changes, and their personal outlook moving forward. This forum aims to give both community members and clinicians a clear, practical understanding of how TScS is implemented and how it may support rehabilitation goals. Credits will be available for PT/OT: 1.5 contact hours. Please join us!
