Epidural combined optical and electrical stimulation induces high-specificity activation of target muscles in spinal cord injured rats

IntroductionEpidural electrical stimulation (EES) has been shown to improve motor dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI) by activating residual locomotor neural networks. However, the stimulation current often spreads excessively, leading to activation of non-target muscles and reducing the accu...
