Summary

This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve walking in people with spinal cord injury who still have some movement but cannot walk well on their own. Six adults aged 22 to 70 who have been injured for at least one year will receive DBS to a brain area called the cuneiform nucleus. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help them walk faster and farther.
