Recovery of cardiovascular function with epidural stimulation after human spinal cord injury
The major goal of this research is to demonstrate that epidural stimulation (ES) can be used to recover significant levels of autonomic control of cardiovascular and respiratory function as well as the ability to voluntarily control leg movements below the injury level.

Task and physiological specific stimulation for recovery of autonomic function, voluntary movement and standing using epidural stimulation and training after spinal cord injury.
The primary goal of this research is to answer the following questions:
- What is the effect of epidural stimulation alone on function after spinal cord injury?
- What is the effect of epidural stimulation in combination weight bearing activities and without weight bearing activities on cardiovascular function?
- Understand the effects of different types of epidural stimulation on pulmonary function, bowel function and bladder function.
