Quantitative spinal cord (SC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents many challenges,
including a lack of standardized imaging protocols. Here we present a prospectively …

The relationship of poststroke spasticity and motor recovery can be confusing.“True” motor
recovery refers to return of motor behaviors to prestroke state with the same end-effectors …

Background. Upper-limb impairment in patients with chronic stroke appears to be partly
attributable to an upregulated reticulospinal tract (RST). Here, we assessed whether the …

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal
cord injury, are leading causes of long-term disability. It is estimated that more than half of …

Individuals with moderate-to-severe post-stroke hemiparesis cannot control proximal and
distal joints of the arm independently because they are constrained to stereotypical …

Noninvasively detecting and characterizing modulations in cellular scale micro-architecture
remains a desideratum for contemporary neuroimaging. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) has become …

Humans with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) often recover voluntary control of elbow flexors
and, to a much lesser extent, elbow extensor muscles. The neural mechanisms underlying …

Objective. Noninvasive estimation of motoneuron excitability in human motoneurons is
achieved through a paired motor unit analysis (ΔF) that quantifies hysteresis in the …

Background Abnormal patterns of muscle co-activation contribute to impaired movement
after stroke. Previously, we developed a myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) training …

The spatial accuracy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be as small as a few
millimeters. Despite such great potential, navigated TMS (nTMS) mapping is still underused …
