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 …

Many studies highlight the remarkable plasticity demonstrated by spinal circuits following an
incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Such plasticity can contribute to improvements in …

Incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) often leads to partial disruption of spinal pathways that
are important for motor control of walking. Persons with iSCI present with deficits in walking …

In humans, moving efficiently along the gravity axis requires shifts in muscular contraction
modes. Raising the arm up involves shortening contractions of arm flexors, whereas the …

Study design Randomised, controlled, crossover study. Objectives Paired corticospinal–
motoneuronal stimulation (PCMS) involves repeatedly pairing stimuli to corticospinal …

Priming with patterned stimulation of antagonist muscle afferents induces modulation of
spinal cord excitability as evidenced by changes in group Ia reciprocal inhibition. When …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) resulting in complex neuromuscular pathology is not sufficiently well
understood. To better quantify neuromuscular changes after SCI, this study uses a clustering …

This study of chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects investigated patterns of
central motor drive (ie, central activation) of the plantar flexors using interpolated twitches …

Purpose Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a method of activating paralyzed muscles.
During FES application, fast muscle fatigue can occur (the inability of stimulated muscles to …

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a significant impact on motor control and active
force generation. Quantifying muscle activation following SCI may help indicate the degree …
