Role overview
The international SNSF-funded clinical study “ESBo‐SCI” investigates the influence of abdominal neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) on gut management in people with chronic paralysis and neurogenic bowel dysfunction.
The aim is to clarify whether the positive effects of stimulation are primarily based on motor contractions or on afferent (sensory) neuromodulation in order to establish an evidence-based treatment protocol.
The position is limited to 4 years.
