    Summary
    Current efforts to restore function after spinal cord injury are based largely on exploiting neuroplasticity within the sensorimotor system, while preclinical research seeks ways to compensate for loss of descending input after complete cord transection. Dietz and Fouad review both approaches, highlighting key challenges and areas of particular promise
