This trial is enrolling 46 individuals with recent spinal cord injuries (3 months or longer) to test the effect of transcutaneous (skin surface) spinal stimulation (TSS) on spasticity. TSS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord via surface electrodes to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will receive three sessions of TSS at different intensities for 30 minutes (each 48 hours apart). Investigators will measure the response to the different stimulation intensities on muscle tone and spasticity before and after each intervention session through study completion, an average of two weeks.
