In applications in people with SCI, functional electrical stimulation (FES) is one neuroprosthetic approach to improve locomotor function that stimulates the peroneal nerves to elicit a flexion withdrawal reflex and thereby cause limb movement [90].
Your brain, through the UMNs, can override the withdrawal reflex and have you grab a hot object and even burn yourself.
