Core Tip Previous studies showed that non-invasive, spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) priming can improve lower limb neuromuscular performance during high-intensity, fatiguing efforts but not during a low-level, torque steadiness task. Here, balance control with eyes open and eyes closed was assessed before and after the application of scTS or sham stimulation. scTS did not affect single-leg stance balance control in young active males. Also, as expected, balance control was impaired with visual deprivation (i.e., eyes closed). These findings, together with previous observations, contribute to define the potential framework and applications of scTS priming.
