摘要: Non-patterned electrical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) via epidural electrodes can activate neural circuits involved in lower-limb motor control individuals with injury (SCI), and generate automatic, rhythmic flexion-extension movements the paralyzed lower limbs. Here, we studied whether SCS increase excitability of locomotor a motor-incomplete SCI individual capable voluntary treadmill stepping without support this augmentation be integrated into residu- al control. was applied through skin during active stepping. Sub-motor stim- ulation enhanced limb EMG activities step-phase appropriate manner as well reproducibly modified coordination hip knee Further study larger population is warranted.
