Restoring locomotion in motor-complete spinal cord injury via trunk-mediated control using a commercial epidural spinal cord stimulator.

Med (New York, N.Y.)·September 7, 2026·PMID 42705226

Why it matters

Motor-complete spinal cord injury typically precludes volitional lower limb movement, and existing neuromodulation approaches often require complex, non-approved systems. This method leverages a commercially available stimulator and intact trunk control, potentially offering a more accessible and scalable pathway to restore functional mobility in a broader patient population.
