Powered robotic exoskeletons are an emerging technology of wearable orthoses that can be
used as an assistive device to enable non-ambulatory individuals with spinal cord injury …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts spinal and supraspinal pathways, and this
process is reflected in changes in surface electromyography (sEMG). sEMG is an informative …

Electrical neuromodulation of spinal networks improves the control of movement of the
paralyzed limbs after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the potential of noninvasive spinal …

Background The trunk muscles are critical for postural control. Recent neurophysiological
studies have revealed sparing of trunk muscle function in individuals with spinal cord injury …

To compensate for postural muscle function loss spinal cord injured (SCI) people have to
use parts of the sensorimotor system which are still intact. In this study, postural control was …

Background Individuals with cervical spinal cord injury usually sustain impairments to the
trunk and upper and lower limbs, resulting in compromised sitting balance. The objectives of …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in paralysis of trunk muscles, which can affect sitting
balance. The objective of this study was to analyze trunk muscle coordination of individuals …

Objectives: Upper extremity (UE) joint degeneration, particularly at the shoulder,
detrimentally influences functional independence, quality of life, cardiovascular disease risk …

Background: The study was concerned with the secondary functional compromise persons
with long-term paraplegia contend with, that has been shown to be associated with …

Aging usually reduces muscle capacity in the core muscles of the body causing a reduction
in functional abilities and activities of daily living. In the present investigation, we evaluated …
