Modern health care has brought our society innumerable benefits but has also introduced
the experience of pain very early in life. For example, it is now routine care for newborns to …

In the last decade, many studies confirmed the benefits of mental practice with motor
imagery. In this review we first aimed to compile data issued from fundamental and clinical …

Most studies targeting chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) have concluded that neural
stem/progenitor cell (NS/PC) transplantation exerts only a subclinical recovery; this in …

Injury to the spinal cord causes transection of axon fibers and neural cell death, resulting in
disruption of the neural network and severe functional loss. Reconstruction of the damaged …

Rehabilitative motor training is currently one of the most widely used approaches to promote
moderate recovery following injuries of the central nervous system. Such training is …

The neural mechanisms explaining strength increase following mental training by motor
imagery (MI) are not clearly understood. While gains are mostly attributed to cortical …

O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a regulatory post-translational modification of
intracellular proteins. The dynamic and inducible cycling of the modification is governed by …

The spinal cord has the capacity to coordinate motor activities such as locomotion. Following
spinal transection, functional activity can be regained, to a degree, following motor training …

Stem cell-based regenerative therapy has opened an avenue for functional recovery of
patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Regenerative rehabilitation is attracting wide attention …

Objective: Postural stability is essential for high-level physical activities after anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study was conducted to investigate the relationship of …
