Although a number of upper limb kinematic studies have been conducted, no review actually
addresses the key-features of open-chain upper limb movements after cervical spinal cord …

Individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) that causes tetraplegia are challenged with
dramatic sensorimotor deficits. However, certain rehabilitation techniques may significantly …

A comprehensive approach to complex challenges Here's the foundational knowledge,
skills, and understanding physical therapists need to develop and implement rehabilitation …

The neurophysiological substrates underlying motor imagery are now well established.
However, the neural processes of motor inhibition while mentally rehearsing an action are …

Impairment of hand functions in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) severely disrupts
activities of daily living. Recent advances have enabled rehabilitation assisted by robotic …

Wrist posture impacts the muscle lengths and moment arms of the extrinsic finger muscles
that cross the wrist. As a result, the electromyographic (EMG) activity associated with digit …

Purpose: Grasp recovery after C6-C7-spinal cord injury (SCI) requires learning “tenodesis
grasp” whereby active wrist extension elicits passive thumb-to-forefinger and finger-to-palm …
