Electrical spinal cord stimulation must preserve proprioception to enable locomotion in humans with spinal cord injury

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jocelyne Bloch, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Emanuele Formento, Karen Minassian, Andreas Rowald, Camille Georgette Marie Le Goff-Mignardot

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord restores locomotion in animal models of spinal cord injury but is less effective in humans. Here we hypothesized that this interspecies discrepancy is due to interference between EES and propriocepti ...
