• Implanted pacemakers and/or implanted defibrillator devices.
• Other exclusion criteria may include the presence of implanted electrical device, cancer, thrombosis, pacemaker, defibrillator, or seizures. Patients who are currently on or receive anti-platelet or anticoagulant medications will be excluded from the trial.
• Any condition that, in the judgment of the principal investigator or medical provider, precludes safe participation in the study.
• Other exclusion criteria at the discretion of the medical team may include:
• Uncontrolled autonomic dysreflexia (AD), refers to episodes of AD that do not respond to medications to ensure stable blood pressure in persons with SCI
• Concurrent severe neurological injuries other than SCI: MS, CP, severe TBI, and stroke.
• Unresolved deep vein thrombosis.
• Psychiatric or cognitive impairments that preclude adherence to the intervention.
• Known cardiac pathology that precludes safe participation.
• Metabolic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled type II diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypertension, and those on insulin.
• Presence of pressure sores stage three or greater.
• Presence of a symptomatic urinary tract infection.
• Severe spasticity as assessed by the Modified Ashworth Scale.
• Changing neurologic status due to conditions such as progressive posttraumatic syringomyelia.

• May have received prior radiation with or without radiosensitizing chemotherapy if >2 weeks before the start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-central nervous system (CNS) disease
