▪ Abstract Motor function is severely disrupted following spinal cord injury (SCI). The spinal
circuitry, however, exhibits a great degree of automaticity and plasticity after an injury …

Functional recovery after CNS injury may depend, in part, upon reorganization of
undamaged neural pathways. Spinal cord circuits are capable of significant reorganization …

After spinal cord injury (SCI), various sensorimotor functions can recover, ranging from
simple spinal reflexes to more elaborate motor patterns, such as locomotion. Locomotor …

Motor, sensory, and autonomic functions can spontaneously return or recover to varying
extents in both humans and animals, regardless of the traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) …

In patients suffering an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) an improvement in walking
function can be achieved by providing a functional training with an appropriate afferent …

Spinal cord injury is associated with chronic sensorimotor deficits due to the interruption of
ascending and descending tracts between the brain and spinal cord. Functional recovery …

The purpose of this review is to discuss the achievements and perspectives regarding
rehabilitation of sensorimotor functions after spinal cord injury. In the first part we discuss …

After a spinal cord injury (SCI) of the cat or rat, neuronal centers below the level of lesion
exhibit plasticity that can be exploited by specific training paradigms. In individuals with …

The adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is capable of considerable plasticity,
both in health and disease. After spinal neurotrauma, the degrees and extent of …

Severe spinal cord injury (SCI) permanently abolishes motor functions caudal to the lesion.
However, the neuronal machinery sufficient to produce standing and stepping is located …
