How can spinal cord stimulation lead to functional improvements in SCI? a SCS provides a prosthetic effect that enables activation of previously paralyzed muscles. b The prosthetic effect of SCS enables prolonged activation of paralyzed muscles in a physical therapy setting. c Long-term practice with activity-based training and SCS results in increases clinical measures of function in chronic SCI.
