Spinal cord injuries (SCI) can disrupt communications between the brain and the body,
leading to a loss of control over otherwise intact neuromuscular systems. The use of …

Repair of the injured spinal cord by regeneration therapy remains an elusive goal. In
contrast, progress in medical care and rehabilitation has resulted in improved health and …

Different approaches are available to compensate gait in persons with spinal cord injury,
including passive orthoses, functional electrical stimulation (FES), and robotic exoskeletons …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most debilitating injuries in the world. Complications
after SCI, such as respiratory issues, bowel/bladder incontinency, pressure ulcers …

The relative importance of muscle activity versus neurotrophic factors in the maintenance of
muscle differentiation has been greatly debated. Muscle biopsies from spinal cord injury …

To analyze the performance of BCI systems, some evaluation criteria must be applied. The
most popular is accuracy or error rate. Because of some strict prerequisites, accuracy is not …

Porous Co 3 O 4 hexagonal nanosheets (PCHNSs) with a well-defined morphology have
been synthesized successfully via a hydrothermal process and followed by calcinations. Co …

We have previously shown that the spinal cord is capable of learning a sensorimotor task in
the absence of supraspinal input. Given the action of brain-derived neurotrophic factor …

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) offer significant hope to tetraplegic and paraplegic
individuals. This technology relies on extracting and translating motor intent to facilitate …

Objective. Spinal cord injury causes a drastic loss of motor, sensory and autonomic function.
The goal of this project was to investigate the use of intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) for …
