In all three participants, 2 Hz stimulation with 2 volts elicited stimulus coupled CMAP characteristic for posterior root stimulation. stepping like movements were obtained with Stimulation frequencies between 15 to 25 Hz, and amplitude between 5 to 8 volts elicited sustained tonic and rhythmic activity.  The hip and knee extensors showed good extension with lower frequencies (15 to 25 Hz). Sustained stimulation to the lumbar cord through posterior root effectively recruited sustained extension and rhythmic flexion/ extension movement. Also, there was 70 % reduction in body weight support was achieved with epidural stimulation (ES) enabled stepping movement when compared with 20 % BWS without epidural stimulation.

Epidural stimulated- enabled BWST resulted in timely and purposeful activation of the lower extremities muscles, improved independence and decreased clinician assistance.  It improved ability to walk voluntarily using body weight suspended support trainer and a wheeled walker.
