Abstract
- The lumbosacral spinal cord of mammals contains the neural circuitry capable of generating full weight-bearing locomotion of the hind limbs without any supraspinal input. One or more interventions, for example, pharmacological, epidural stimulation, and/or locomotor training, however, are necessary to gain access to and modulate the properties of this circuitry and to facilitate recovery of full weight-bearing locomotion after spinal cord injury.
