Locomotor training is a classic rehabilitation approach utilized with the aim of improving
sensorimotor function and walking ability in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Recent …

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is a metalloprotease that produces a sustained yet
transitory blockade of transmitter release from peripheral nerve terminals. Local delivery of …

Supraspinal excitability and sensory input may play an important role for the modulation of
spinal inhibitory interneurons and functional recovery among patients with incomplete spinal …

Spinal inhibition is significantly reduced after spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. In this work,
we examined if locomotor training can improve spinal inhibition exerted at a presynaptic …

Previous findings indicate that co-contractions of plantarflexors and dorsiflexors during quiet
standing increase the ankle mechanical joint stiffness, resulting in increased postural sway …

After spinal cord injury (SCI), the reorganization of the neuromuscular system leads to
increased antagonist muscles' co‐activation—that is, increased antagonist vs. agonist …

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

People with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently suffer motor disabilities due to
spasticity and poor muscle control, even after conventional therapy. Abnormal spinal reflex …

In people with spasticity due to chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), it has been
presumed that the abnormal stretch reflex activity impairs gait. However, locomotor stretch …

Body weight–supported (BWS) robotic-assisted step training on a motorized treadmill is
utilized with the aim to improve walking ability in people after damage to the spinal cord …
