摘要：With the advent of spinal cord epidural stimulation techniques,i.e.,electrically enabled motor control (eEmc) in combination with activity dependent locomotor training,humans with traumatic complete sensori-motor paralysis are able to initiate voluntary leg movements and achieve gains in postural control,and bladder and sexual function (Angeli et al.,2014).However,there are yet some technological barriers of eEmc for therapeutic purposes in humans that prevent weight bearing stepping.In this perspective,we highlight novel features of eEmc techniques based off our recent work in spinalized rats and suggest their implementation in patients with a SCI for more meaningful functional motor outcomes.
