In this study, we examined if several months of intensive locomotor training increases the
function of spared corticospinal tract pathways after chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) in …

In human spinal cord injury, the neuronal mechanisms mediating the improvement of
locomotor function in response to intensive treadmill training are not well understood. In this …

Intensive treadmill training after incomplete spinal cord injury can improve functional walking
abilities. To determine the changes in muscle activation patterns that are associated with …

Rehabilitative exercise in humans with spinal cord injury aims to engage residual neural
networks to improve functional recovery. We hypothesized that exercise combined with non …

Recovery of lower-limb function after spinal cord injury (SCI) likely depends on transmission
in the corticospinal pathway. Here, we examined whether paired corticospinal-motoneuronal …

Spinal lesions substantially impair ambulation, occur generally in young and otherwise
healthy individuals, and result in devastating effects on quality of life. Restoration of …

Treadmill training with partial body weight support (BWS) is being advocated as a strategy to
enhance walking in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Clinical reports have not examined …

Background Paired corticospinal-motoneuronal stimulation (PCMS) increases corticospinal
transmission in humans with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) …

A main goal of rehabilitation strategies in humans with spinal cord injury is to strengthen
transmission in spared neural networks. Although neuromodulatory strategies have targeted …

Noninvasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex was used to evoke
electromyographic (EMG) responses in persons with spinal cord injury (n= 97) and able …
