Summary

This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. Six adults who have had a spinal injury for at least one year will receive DBS to a brain area called the cuneiform nucleus. The goal is to see if it safely helps them walk faster and farther.
