Abstract: A device for the noninvasive stimulation of the spinal cord, intended for carrying out diagnostic tests and physiotherapy. A spinal cord electrostimulator includes five stimulation channels with an electrode system, each of the channels includes connected in series a voltage converter, a current generator and an output signal generator and it is configured to be able to generate the following rectangular pulses: rhythmic modulated bipolar, rhythmic modulated monopolar, rhythmic non-modulated monopolar, single non-modulated monopolar. The inputs of each of the channels are coupled to a microcontroller, which is connected to an indication unit, a control unit and a radio module. The microcontroller is configured to trigger at least one said channel, to select a triggering mode independently for each of the channels, to control each of said channels with parameters of the pulses and vary said parameters depending on a degree of damage to a spinal segment.
