Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life changing neurological condition with substantial
socioeconomic implications for patients and their care-givers. Recent advances in medical …

Background: Animal spinal cord injury (SCI) models have proved invaluable in better
understanding the mechanisms involved in traumatic SCI and evaluating the effectiveness of …

More than a decade ago, spinal-cord injury meant confinement to a wheelchair and a
lifetime of medical comorbidity. The physician's armamentarium of treatments was very …

An electromyographic (EMG) activity pattern for individual muscles in the gait cycle exhibits
a great deal of intersubject, intermuscle and context‐dependent variability. Here we …

Spinal shock has been of interest to clinicians for over two centuries. Advances in our
understanding of both the neurophysiology of the spinal cord and neuroplasticity following …

▪ Abstract Motor function is severely disrupted following spinal cord injury (SCI). The spinal
circuitry, however, exhibits a great degree of automaticity and plasticity after an injury …

Epidural electrical stimulation of lumbar segments facilitates standing and walking in animal
models and humans with spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms through which this …

The objective of this project was to examine the influence of stimulus waveform and
frequency on extracellular stimulation of neurons with their cell bodies near the electrode …

Exercise has been found to impact molecular systems important for maintaining neural
function and plasticity. A characteristic finding for the effects of exercise in the brain and …

This paper introduces a novel kinematic design paradigm for ergonomic human machine
interaction. Goals for optimal design are formulated generically and applied to the …
