The Effect of Spinal Cord Epidural Stimulation on the Recovery of Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a devastating condition, impairing the motor and sensory function below the level of injury and often leads to permanent neurological deficits. Although, there are no pharmacologic therapies for SCI, spontaneous neurologic recovery can occur depending on the severity of SCI, patient’s age and general health condition. The activity-dependent plasticity and the evidence of spared descending pathways below the level of injury may facilitate the functional recovery. Locomotor training has proved effective on functional recovery after SCI. However, locomotor training alone did not achieve significant improvement in motor function of patients with motor complete SCI. The combination of activity-based training with spinal cord epidural stimulation is a new approach leading to encouraging results for the recovery of full-weight bearing standing, over-ground walking and voluntary control of the lower limbs in motor complete SCI individuals. This review focused on individuals with motor complete SCI, classifies as AIS Grade A or AIS Grade B, because the prognosis for recovery of motor function is poor compared to incomplete SCI.
