Abstract
In various embodiments a method of synergistically using a neuromodulation stimulator and a robotic exoskeleton for the restoration of voluntary movement and greater muscle activation in chronically paralyzed subjects is provided. The noninvasive neuromodulation system delivers signals to facilitate the restoration and/or enhancement of neurological function where at least one effect is strengthened stepping capacity that can be further substantiated when coupled with robotic exoskeleton assistance.
