(A) Longitudinal and (B) axial T2 MRIs highlighting the level of injury in a person with C8 complete motor and sensory SCI that were captured prior to implantation. (C) Leads placements with inter-pulse generator as captured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry of the spine region. The black rectangle denotes the placement of the cathode at 0 and the right rectangle denotes the placement of the anode at 3. These configurations (-0 and +3) yielded rhythmic locomotor-like activity. The leads were staggered where the left lead covered the mid-line of T11 vertebral body to proximal border of L1 and the right lead extended from the T11/T12 inter-vertebral space to the mid-line of L1 vertebral body.

Herein, we report the beneficial, off-target effects of percutaneously implanted SCES configuration intended for overground stepping training on blood pressure and spasticity in 27-year-old male following 7 years post a sensory and motor complete C8 SCI as result of fall (Figures 1A, B).
