This article provides a synopsis of current progress made in fundamental studies of lower
urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) after spinal cord injury (SCI) above the sacral level. Animal …

This review article aims to summarize the recent advancement in basic research on lower
urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) following spinal cord injury (SCI) above the sacral level. We …

We examined bladder function following spinal cord injury (SCI) by repeated urodynamic
investigation (UDI), including external urethral sphincter (EUS) electromyography (EMG) in …

Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common problem in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Since the coordination of the urinary bladder and urethra is controlled by the complex …

This study evaluated the time-course changes in bladder and external urinary sphincter
(EUS) activity and the expression of mechanosensitive channels in lumbosacral dorsal root …

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction is a condition that affects both bladder storage and voiding
function and remains one of the leading causes of morbidity after spinal cord injury (SCI) …

Severe micturition dysfunction can occur following spinal cord injury (SCI) due to abnormal
contractions of the urethral sphincter during bladder contractions (bladder/sphincter …

Recovery of urinary tract function after spinal cord injury (SCI) is important in its own right
and may also serve as a model for studying mechanisms of functional recovery after injury in …

Micturition is coordinated at the level of the spinal cord and the brainstem. Spinal cord injury
therefore directly interrupts spinal neuronal pathways to the brainstem and results in bladder …

Spinal cord injury disrupts voluntary control of voiding and the normal reflex pathways that
coordinate bladder and urethral sphincter function. The present review addresses studies in …
