Modulating the spinal cord for #spinalcordinjury amongst many other disorders is just the beginning for a true partnership of functional and spine. @aansneuro @spinesection

Thank you @u2fp for inviting me to talk about the future of #neuromodulation for #spinalcordinjury. It is always a different view from the stage!
@u2fp put together such a compelling program with @roadreck weaving together a plan for SCI advocacy culminating today with the descent on the capital. Such an amazing group at this meeting.
