We will enroll 4 research participants who have sustained a motor complete SCI to participate in the proposed experiments. Participants will be screened for eligibility, followed by 80 days of usual care, epidural implantation, 80 days of cardiovascular epidural stimulation training, 80 days of voluntary movement (VM) epidural stimulation training and finally 80 days of stand epidural stimulation training. These interventions are done in sequential order, however they are cumulative. In between each intervention, participants will undergo motor and cardiovascular experiments and assessments.
