Large animal model for development of functional restoration paradigms using epidural and intraspinal stimulation.

Large animal model for development of functional restoration paradigms using epidural and intraspinal stimulation.

Restoration of movement following spinal cord injury (SCI) has been achieved using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves and skeletal muscles. However, practical limitations such as the rapid onset of muscle fatigue hinder clinical application of these technologies. Recently, direct stimulatio...
