Summary

This early study is testing a new system that connects a brain implant to a spinal cord stimulator. The goal is to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain voluntary control of their leg movements and improve their ability to walk. Researchers will implant devices to read movement intentions from the brain and deliver targeted electrical stimulation to the spinal cord below the injury.
