Locomotion results from intricate dynamic interactions between a central program and
feedback mechanisms. The central program relies fundamentally on a genetically …

Spinal shock has been of interest to clinicians for over two centuries. Advances in our
understanding of both the neurophysiology of the spinal cord and neuroplasticity following …

Non‐patterned electrical stimulation of the posterior structures of the lumbar spinal cord in
subjects with complete, long‐standing spinal cord injury, can induce patterned, locomotor …

Many individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) do not regain their ability to walk, even though
it is a primary goal of rehabilitation. Mammals with thoracic spinal cord transection can …

How is load sensed by receptors, and how is this sensory information used to guide
locomotion? Many insights in this domain have evolved from comparative studies since it …

▪ Abstract Activity-dependent plasticity occurs in the spinal cord throughout life. Driven by
input from the periphery and the brain, this plasticity plays an important role in the …

The ability to walk independently with the velocity and endurance that permit home and
community activities is a highly regarded goal for neurological rehabilitation after stroke …

Systematic research on the physiological and anatomical characteristics of spinal cord
interneurons along with their functional output has evolved for more than one century …

Design: This paper describes a treatment paradigm to facilitate functional gait in a
quadriplegic, ASIA C spinal cord injured (SCI), wheelchair-dependent subject who …

Body-weight supported treadmill training has become a prominent gait rehabilitation method
in leading rehabilitation centers. This type of locomotor training has many functional …
