This study will evaluate the long-term effect of chronic spinal cord stimulation to restore volitional movement for patients with chronic spinal cord injuries.
Participants will be enrolled in this study for the duration of 10 years. They will need to come to Minneapolis twice a year for the Brain Motor Control Assessment and will be given different settings within their Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) programing.
