At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- assess the potential advantages of different types of neuromodulation of the spinal cord to recover sensory-motor function.
- advise patients as to the potential advantages and disadvantages of a given type of neuromodulation to recover sensory motor function.
- discuss with patients the potential timeline for these interventions to become widely available.
- describes some of the basic physiological mechanisms that underlie how these sensory-motor functions are recovered when combined with activity- dependent interventions.
