This trial is enrolling 91 participants with spinal cord injury who previously received an epidural stimulator to test the long-term effect of epidural spinal stimulation (eSS). eSS is an invasive technique that uses an implanted electrode placed next to the spinal cord to deliver electrical stimulation aimed at modifying spinal cord function. If included, participants will use previously established stimulation programs at home for activities such as standing or walking. Final testing will be performed after 1 year (and annually until the device is removed, turned off, or commercially approved).
