Groothuis JT, Rongen GA, Geurts AC, Smits P, Hopman MT. Effect of different sympathetic
stimuli–autonomic dysreflexia and head-up tilt–on leg vascular resistance in spinal cord …

OBJECTIVE: To determine if sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction in the lower
extremities is injury level dependent. Although sympathetic responses have been measured …

Autonomic dysreflexia is a hypertensive episode in spinal cord–injured individuals induced
by exaggerated sympathetic activity and thought to be α-adrenergic mediated. α …

Local vasoconstriction plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure in spinal cord-
injured individuals (SCI). We aimed to unravel the mechanisms of local vasoconstriction …

Pan SL, Wang YH, Hou WH, Wang CM, Huang TS. Reduced sympathetic skin response in
the isolated spinal cord of subjects with spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE: To compare the …

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of a spinal cord injury (SCI) on
resting vascular resistance in paralyzed legs in humans. To accomplish this goal, we …

The aim of this study was to understand how high-and low-intensity locomotor training (LT)
affects sympathetic-somatomotor (SS) coupling in people with incomplete spinal cord injury …

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

Objective There is limited information on the relationship between the level and
completeness of the spinal cord injury (SCI) lesion and the degree of autonomic dysfunction …

OBJECTIVES: To present a comprehensive approach to the assessment of the severity of
the autonomic lesion in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, with regard to the level of lesion. To …
