INSPIRE Foundation Current Projects

We raise money in a variety of different ways which we use to fund our projects all focused on research into spinal cord paralysis. In particular we are interested in the in the ‘here and now’ issues and how we can exploit the latest technology to facilitate quality of life measures for those living with tetraplegia and paraplegia. We are currently sponsoring four projects.

1. Development of a Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Device for the Promotion of Hand Function in incomplete tetraplegia (TETRA GRIP)

2. Hospital and home-based feasibility study of an iCYCLE for functional recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury:

3. Activity Based Rehabilitation (ABR) to restore changes in the central nervous system and in trunk muscle function following spinal cord injury:  TRUNK CONTROL
