Summary

This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve walking ability and reduce pain in people with spinal cord injury. About 12 adults aged 20-70 who have had a spinal cord injury for over a year will receive a surgically implanted stimulator. The goal is to see if it helps them move their legs and walk better, and improves their quality of life.
