The disruption of autonomic pathways after spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to a highly
unstable cardiovascular system, with impaired blood pressure and heart rate regulation. In …

Correlations between physiological, clinical and self-reported assessments of spasticity are
often weak. Our aims were to quantify functional, self-reported and physiological indices of …

Locomotor training holds tremendous appeal to people with spinal cord injury who are
wheelchair dependent, as the reacquisition of gait remains one of the most coveted goals in …

All mammals, including humans, are designed to produce sustained locomotor movements.
Many higher centres are involved in movement, but ultimately these centres act upon a core …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is commonly associated with devastating paralysis. However, this
condition also results in a variety of autonomic dysfunctions, primarily: cardiovascular …

Arterial stiffness, as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), is elevated
after spinal cord injury (SCI). In the uninjured population, exercise training has been shown …

Abstract Background/Objective: To determine whether 9 weeks of locomotor training (LT)
results in changes in muscle strength and alterations in muscle size and activation after …

On demand and localized treatment for excessive muscle tone after spinal cord injury (SCI)
is currently not available. Here, we examine the reduction in leg hypertonus in a person with …

Context Rehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI) relies on the use of exercise training,
which has limited functional gains. There is a need to develop more efficient approaches to …

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) have significant dysfunction in cardiovascular
autonomic regulation. Although recent findings postulate that spinal cord stimulation …
