“…176 It has been shown that epidural spinal cord stimulation in conjunction with BWSTT can facilitate functional walking in persons with chronic SCI ASIA C, perhaps by eliciting greater activation of the oxidative motor unit pool. 7,173 Other investigators have shown in animal experiments that stimulation of motor neuron pools within the gray matter of the spinal cord by implanted microelectrode arrays can activate large number of individual muscle fibers in a relatively coordinated pattern.…”

Repair of the injured spinal cord by regeneration therapy remains an elusive goal. In contrast, progress in medical care and rehabilitation has resulted in improved health and function of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). In the absence of a cure, raising the level of achievable function in mobility and selfcare will first and foremost depend on creative use of the rapidly advancing technology that has been so widely applied in our society. Building on achievements in microelectronics, microprocessing and neuroscience, rehabilitation medicine scientists have succeeded in developing functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems that enable certain individuals with SCI to use their paralyzed hands, arms, trunk, legs and diaphragm for functional purposes and gain a degree of control over bladder and bowel evacuation. This review presents an overview of the progress made, describes the current challenges and suggests ways to improve further FES systems and make these more widely available.

“…Sensory recording interfaces with peripheral nerves have several advantages over external sensors, including integration with natural body sensors, a reduced obtrusiveness and a limited need to reposition. 172 Nerve cuffs on the sural nerve and the palmar digital nerve have been used to detect foot contact and finger touch for closed loop FES control of foot dorsiflexion 113 and hand grasp. 112 Nerve cuffs and penetrating electrodes that target peripheral nerves are limited to signals from a single joint, skin region, or part of an organ and must reject motor signals.…”

Context: Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a loss of function and sensation below the level of the lesion. Neuroprosthetic technology has been developed to help restore motor and autonomic functions as well as to provide sensory feedback. Findings: This paper provides an overview of neuroprosthetic technology that aims to address the priorities for functional restoration as defined by individuals with SCI. We describe neuroprostheses that are in various stages of preclinical development, clinical testing, and commercialization including functional electrical stimulators, epidural and intraspinal microstimulation, bladder neuroprosthesis, and cortical stimulation for restoring sensation. We also discuss neural recording technologies that may provide command or feedback signals for neuroprosthetic devices. Conclusion/clinical relevance: Neuroprostheses have begun to address the priorities of individuals with SCI, although there remains room for improvement. In addition to continued technological improvements, closing the loop between the technology and the user may help provide intuitive device control with high levels of performance.
