The present invention refers to a system for stimulation of the spinal cord for the rehabilitation of motor function in subjects with spinal cord injury or other motor disorders. Said system comprises a programmable implantable pulse generator (IPG), operatively connected to deliver current pulses to one or more multi-electrode arrays, wherein said IPG is adapted to deliver to said multi-electrode array a stimulation characterized by a frequency comprised between 20 and 1200 Hz and an amplitude comprised between 0.1 motor threshold amplitude and 1.5 motor threshold amplitude. The use of such system for facilitating locomotor functions or upper limb movements in a subject with neuromotor impairments is also within the scope of the invention.
