This trial is recruiting people with spinal cord injuries to test the effect of a powered robotic exoskeleton (Ekso), in combination with electrical stimulation applied through skin surface electrodes to leg muscles (functional electrical stimulation - FES). Participants will undergo walking training with and without the exoskeleton and FES of key leg muscles. The investigators want to see if using these technologies will affect recovery of sensation and muscle activity below the level of the injury, including the ability to walk.
