Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for improvement of physiological function in an individual with a spinal cord injury via electrical stimulation of the spinal cord. A 3D model of the spinal cord is used to determine an initial position for an electrode array to deliver stimulation. Spinal cord electrical stimulation is configurable to target different physiological functions with surgical implantation of the neurostimulator at a singular location. Such systems and methods include (i) anatomical specificity to target the appropriate region of the spinal cord for stimulation, (ii) electrical specificity to provide the appropriate stimulation by delivery method, frequency, pulse duration, and other factors, and (iii) physiological specificity to evoke, suppress, increase, or decrease a specific physiological result.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods for applying epidural electrical stimulation to improve motor function or physiological responses in paralyzed individuals. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for creating and applying specific configurations of epidural stimulation to assist or cause a patient to perform a complex motor function or to mitigate one or more secondary consequences of paralysis including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, respiratory, bladder, temperature and sexual dysfunction.
