This trial is enrolling 22 participants with chronic motor-complete spinal cord injuries to test the effect of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) on cardiovascular and pulmonary function. tSCS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord via surface stimulation to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will undergo a minimum of two sessions of tSCS per week for 6 weeks. Final testing of cardiopulmonary health will be performed after 8 weeks.
