Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes complete or incomplete loss of motor function, which affects patients' normal life. After electrode implantation, epidural spinal cord electrical stimulation (SCS) with optimal frequency, pulse width and intensity, combined with rehabilitation training, is able to promote the recovery of volitional control of motor activities, standing and stepping. Here, the progress of therapeutic effect of epidural spinal cord stimulation on the recovery of motor function in patients with spinal cord injury ware summarized to provide reference for its clinical application in the recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury.
