This trial is enrolling individuals with spinal cord injuries who can walk a few steps with or without assistance to test the effect of skin-surface stimulation on arm, leg and walking function. Researchers will use both a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulator and an electrical stimulation device applied to nerves in the arms or legs. Magnetic pulses applied to the head will be combined with specific movements in order to improve strength and function. Participants will receive 15 to 190 therapy sessions that take 2-3 hours. Each SCI participant will be compared to a group of non-injured persons (control group).

Details
The trial is made up of 5 parts: Part 1: 2-30 sessions, each approximately 2-3 hours long, to measure arm and finger strength/movement. Part 2: 2-30 sessions, each approximately 2-3 hours long, to measure leg strength/movement. Part 3: Up to 40 sessions, each approximately 2 hours long, to measure how well the participant can use both arms. Part 4: Up to 40 sessions, each approximately 2 hours long, to measure how well the participant can use both legs. Part 5: Final visit after 5 months. Note: A detailed explanation of the full extent of what is required can only be obtained directly from the Investigator.
