The spinal cervico-lumbar interaction during rhythmic movements in humans has recently
been studied; however, the role of arm movements in modulating the corticospinal drive to …

Background: Candidates for activity-based therapy after spinal cord injury (SCI) are often
selected on the basis of manual muscle test scores and the classification of the injury as …

Neurophysiological changes that involve activity-dependent neuroplasticity mechanisms via
repeated stimulation and locomotor training are not commonly employed in research even …

Associative plasticity occurs when two stimuli converge on a common neural target.
Previous efforts to promote associative plasticity have targeted cortex, with variable and …

BACKGROUND: After cervical spinal cord injury, current options for treatment of upper
extremity motor functions have been limited to traditional approaches. However, there is a …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in impaired or absent sensorimotor function below the
level of the lesion. Recent electrophysiological studies in humans with chronic incomplete …

Introduction Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) over a muscle belly (mNMES)
recruits superficial motor units (MUs) preferentially, whereas NMES over a nerve trunk …

We have examined input-output patterns in the corticospinal system after incomplete spinal
cord injury. The amplitude of the motor evoked potential (MEP) to transcranial magnetic …

Background. Substantial data indicate greater muscle fatigue in individuals with spinal cord
injury (SCI) compared with healthy control subjects when tested by using electrical …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is often used to activate muscles impaired after
spinal cord injury to elicit functional activities or to facilitate exercise. However, in addition to …
