title: Evidence for a human spinal stepping generator.
abstract: Flexion reflexes elicited by surface stimulation in spinal cord-injured man have been used to provide limb flexion in gait restoration. In this study, the pattern of the flexion reflexes observed in one subject supports the theory that a spinal stepping generator exists in man.
