Spinal cord injury (SCI) currently afflicts 400,000 Americans and there exist no effective therapies for promoting recovery of function. New therapies to promote regeneration and recovery after SCI are needed. We have developed a model of primate SCI that meets the goals of generating clear and consistent anatomical and functional deficits, while maintaining general mobility and comfort of the subject.
