Study Summary
Involuntary muscle activity, often called spasticity, is a common problem following spinal cord injury (SCI) that can make it hard to move. Many things can cause spasticity including: muscle stretch, movement, or it can happen for no reason, and it is often described as an uncontrolled muscle spasm or feeling of stiffness. Drugs are typically used to treat spasticity, but they often have side effects, like muscle weakness, which can add to movement problems. Rehabilitation therapies offer alternatives to drugs for treating involuntary muscle activity, and rehabilitation can also improve daily function and quality of life. These benefits may be greater when several rehabilitation therapies are used together. Walking ability can be improved with a type of therapy called "locomotor training". This type of therapy may also have the benefit of decreasing spasticity. When locomotor training (LT) is combined with electrical stimulation, the benefits of training may be increased. In this study, investigators will use a kind of stimulation called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation ("TSS") to stimulate participants' spinal cord nerves during locomotor training.
