Spinal Cord Microstimulation Generates Functional Limb Movements in Chronically Implanted Cats

Spinal cord injuries disrupt the communication between the brain and peripheral nerves, but leave motoneurons and networks of interneurons below the level of the lesion intact. It is therefore possible to restore some function following injury by providing an artificial stimulus to the surviving neu...
