Roy RR, Harkema SJ, Edgerton VR. Basic concepts of activity-based interventions for
improved recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in life-long sensorimotor impairment. Spontaneous
recovery from SCI is limited, as supraspinal fibers cannot spontaneously regenerate to form …

Over the past 20 years, tremendous advances have been made in the field of spinal cord
injury research. Yet, consumed with individual pieces of the puzzle, we have failed as a …

Previously, we reported that one individual who had a motor complete, but sensory
incomplete spinal cord injury regained voluntary movement after 7 months of epidural …

The present prognosis for the recovery of voluntary control of movement in patients
diagnosed as motor complete is generally poor. Herein we introduce a novel and …

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) …

Reorganization of brain function in people with CNS damage has been identified as one of
the fundamental mechanisms involved in the recovery of sensorimotor function. Spinal cord …

Spinal lesions substantially impair ambulation, occur generally in young and otherwise
healthy individuals, and result in devastating effects on quality of life. Restoration of …

Paralysis due to spinal cord injury can severely limit motor function and independence. This
review summarizes different approaches to electrical stimulation of the spinal cord designed …

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 …
