This trial is enrolling 11 individuals with chronic spinal cord injury above T10 to test the effect of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) on walking function. TSCS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord via surface stimulation to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will undergo 24, two-hour sessions of physical therapy over 8 weeks. In each session, TSCS will be applied for 30 minutes. Final testing of walking function will be performed after 8 weeks.
