Abstract
A method assists a person by providing an electrode array having a substrate supporting a plurality of stimulation contacts configured to stimulate at least a portion of the spinal cord neural tissue. The method also implants, in a medically uncompressed manner, the therapy array in the epidural space, where a portion of the therapy array is positioned adjacent to at least one pedicle with stimulation contacts positioned adjacent to at least one dorsal root laterally and at least one fasciculi of the dorsal column within the vertebral foramen at one or more vertebral levels.
