This study of chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects investigated patterns of
central motor drive (ie, central activation) of the plantar flexors using interpolated twitches …

Purpose To examine differences in peak heart rate (HR) and measures of sympathetic
function between nonathletes and athletes with chronic, motor-complete, cervical spinal cord …

Both sensorimotor and autonomic dysfunctions often occur after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Particularly, a high thoracic or cervical SCI interrupts supraspinal vasomotor pathways and …

Purpose This work's purpose was to quantify rapid sympathetic activation in individuals with
spinal cord injury (SCI), and to identify associated correlations with symptoms of orthostatic …

Background. Muscle fatigue prevents repetitive use of paralyzed muscle after spinal cord
injury (SCI). Objective. This study compared the effects of hybrid patterns of muscle …

During the last decade an international community of clinicians and scientists in the area of
spinal cord injury (SCI) medicine became aware of the need to improve evaluation of …

Transcutaneous (TSS) and epidural spinal stimulation (ESS) are electrophysiological
techniques that have been used to investigate the interactions between exogenous …

Background. Weight-supported treadmill training is an emerging rehabilitation method used
to improve locomotor ability in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, little research …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the crucial “crosstalk” between the spinal autonomic
nervous system and supraspinal control centers. Therefore, SCI may result not only in motor …

Autonomic dysfunction is a major and poorly understood consequence of spinal cord injury.
It is a cause of very serious disability and requires much more research. It should be a focus …
