What this study is about

Researchers are testing whether adding resistance training to epidural stimulation helps people with spinal cord injuries stand, step, and walk better. The trial will compare two groups: one that receives epidural stimulation plus resistance training, and another that only receives epidural stimulation without resistance training. This research aims to improve motor recovery, cardiovascular health, and bladder control in individuals with complete spinal cord injury.
