Publications

Recent findings published in The New England Journal of Medicine today, describes two of the four participants (both AIS grade B) were able to walk over ground with assistive devices after intensive physical training with epidural stimulation of the lower spinal cord. The other two (both AIS grade A) achieved some components of independent stepping on the treadmill with body-weight support but not over-ground walking.
