This clinical trial is enrolling 30 participants with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury to test the effect of two types of transcranial magnetic stimulation: intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive technique which uses a magnetic field to stimulate the brain. A coil (held over the head) delivers the magnetic stimulation that activates the central nervous system. If included, participants will receive robotic rehabilitation paired with either iTBS, rTMS, or sham iTBS. Final testing of lower limb function will be performed after 6 weeks.
