This trial is enrolling individuals with sub-acute (3 months post injury) to chronic incomplete spinal cord injuries at the T12 level or above to test the effect of moderate-intensity motor skill training (MST) combined with skin-surface (transcutaneous) spinal stimulation (TSS) on walking function. TSS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord via skin surface electrodes to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will receive 6 sessions over a 2 week span of either: 1) MST + active TSS; 2) MST + sham (inactive) TSS; or 3) cyclic aerobic exercise (CAX) + active TSS. Final testing of walking function will be performed after 27 days.
