Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to test a strategy to potentiate functional recovery of lower limb motor function in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The FDA approved drug, Dalfampridine (4-AP). 4-AP will be used twice-daily in combination of Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) stimulation and STDP stimulation with limb training.

Primary Outcome

Electrical stimulation will be performed placing the cathode on the upper thoracic between the spinal processes between T3 and T4 vertebrae and the anode at \~10 cm above
