Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Transcutaneous Epidural StimulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Transcutaneous spinal stimulation will be delivered via skin surface-level electrodes during rehabilitation. The effects of transcutaneous stimulation will be recorded via electrophysiological and biomechanical metrics described within the outcomes measures.
Group II: Percutaneous Epidural StimulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Epidural spinal stimulation will be delivered via percutaneously implanted electrodes during rehabilitation. All implanted electrodes will be removed at the end of trial participation. The effects of epidural stimulation will be recorded via electrophysiological and biomechanical metrics described within the outcomes measures.
