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 …

Standing and walking require a plethora of sensorimotor interactions that occur throughout
the nervous system. Sensory afferent feedback plays a crucial role in the rhythmical muscle …

Transcutaneous spinal cord or transspinal stimulation over the thoracolumbar enlargement,
the spinal location of motoneurons innervating leg muscles, modulates neural circuits …

Key points Presynaptic inhibition is modulated by supraspinal centres and primary afferents
in order to filter sensory information, adjust spinal reflex excitability, and ensure smooth …

Previously it was shown that spinal excitability during hopping and drop jumping is high in
the initial phase of ground contact when the muscle is stretched but decreases toward …

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 …

We reported previously that both transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation and direct
pressure stimulation of the plantar surfaces of the feet can elicit rhythmic involuntary step …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often disrupts the integrity of afferent (sensory) axons projecting
through the spinal cord dorsal columns to the brain. Examinations of ascending sensory …

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 …

An incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs neural conduction along spared ascending
sensory pathways to disrupt the control of residual motor movements. To characterize how …
