In our latest episode of Real-Life Science, we delve into our groundbreaking research that is transforming the lives of people with spinal cord injury. Once considered impossible, independent standing is now a reality for some, thanks to targeted spinal cord epidural stimulation combined with focused rehabilitative training. 

Lead author Claudia Angeli, PhD, assistant director of the Tim and Caroline Reynolds Center for Spinal Stimulation, shares insights into how this innovative approach is helping participants regain the ability to stand with little or no manual support.
