This trial is enrolling 80 participants, healthy individuals and persons with chronic spinal cord injury to test the effect of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on muscle response. SCS is a technique for stimulating the spinal cord via skin-surface electrodes to modify spinal cord function. If included, participants will receive 30 minutes of SCS during machine-assisted ankle movement training, either in a single session or three times per week for 4 weeks, or no intervention. Final testing of muscle response will be performed after 4 weeks.
