The cardiometabolic disorder (CMD) is a syndrome caused by coalescing of cardiovascular,
endocrine, pro-thrombotic, and inflammatory health risks. Together, these risks confer a …

Recent data demonstrate improved locomotion with high-intensity locomotor training (LT) in
individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), although concerns remain regarding …

We aimed to determine the relationship between level of injury, completeness of injury,
resting as well as exercise hemodynamics, and endurance performance in athletes with …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Spinal cord injury results in
paralysis and deleterious neuromuscular and autonomic adaptations. Lumbosacral epidural …

Despite the loss of centrally mediated sympathetic vasoconstriction, spinal cord-injured
(SCI) individuals cope surprisingly well with orthostatic challenges. In the pathophysiology of …

Multiple studies have corroborated the restoration of volitional motor control after motor-
complete spinal cord injury (SCI) through the use of epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) …

Previous studies have shown increased fatigue in paralyzed muscle of spinal cord-injured
(SCI) patients (Castro M, Apple D Jr, Hillegass E, and Dudley GA. Eur J Appl Physiol 80: 373 …

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous systems, acts to maintain homeostasis in the body through autonomic influences on …

Objective. Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in disruption of descending tonic activation of
sympathetic circuits in the spinal cord. The authors determined whether different stimuli that …
