Spinal motor evoked responses (sMERs)
Spinally Evoked Motor Responses (sMERs) will be obtained while stimulating with single pulses using various stimulation parameters. sMERs are the electromyograph (EMG) responses of the peripheral muscles to electrical stimulation of the spinal cord. sEMP will be used to test the integrity of the motor pathways of the spinal cord. This will be measuring by assessing the EMG responses in the lower limb muscles.
Continuous stimulation tolerance
Participants may receive up to 45 min of locomotion training (treadmill or overground training) with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. The goal will be for the investigators to determine what amount of intensity at each stimulation site the individual finds to be comfortable enough that they would be able to receive without pain or discomfort
