Spinal Cord Stimulation and Training

Description

This study will help the investigators better understand the changes in short-term excitability and long-term plasticity of corticospinal, reticulospinal and spinal neural circuits and how the changes impact the improvements of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) mediated motor function.
