Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a severe pressure ulcer, which initiates in skeletal muscle tissue
under intact skin. Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are especially vulnerable to DTI, due …

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are susceptible to an array of secondary health
complications. Some of these health concerns are attributable to the SCI per se, but many …

Objective Functional electrical stimulation (FES) may help to reduce the risk of developing
macrovascular and microvascular complications in people with spinal cord injury. Low …

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a severe pressure ulcer initiating in weight-bearing skeletal
muscles. Being common in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, DTI is associated with …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a significant impact on the structure and function of the
cardiovascular system, typically leading to smaller sized vessels below the lesion and …

Abstract Study Design We investigated whether overnight ES is a feasible method to activate
gluteal, quadriceps, and hamstrings muscles in a two-week experiment. Electrical …

Physical deconditioning commonly occurs following spinal cord injury (SCI) due to loss of
voluntary functional movement and resultant increased sedentary behavior. This lesser …

Background We investigated cardiovascular responses to an orthostatic challenge in trained
spinal cord-injured (SCI) individuals compared to able-bodied (AB) individuals. Methods A …

Peripheral nerve cuff electrodes (NCEs) have been deployed in neuroprostheses restoring
or modulating motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. They address myriad pathologies …

Objective To examine the therapeutic value of lower extremity functional electrical
stimulation (FES)-evoked cycling on functional independence, health status, gait …
