Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has devastating consequences for the physical, social and
vocational well-being of patients. The demographic of SCIs is shifting such that an …

Mobility after spinal cord injury (SCI) is among the top goals of recovery and improvement in
quality of life. Those with tetraplegia rank hand function as the most important area of …

Recent studies demonstrate that rehabilitation ameliorates physical and cognitive
impairments of patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, and other neurological diseases and …

Abstract Background/Objective: The upper extremity motor deficit is one of the functional
challenges in post stroke patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the …

Objective To investigate the influence of different design characteristics of virtual reality
exercises on engagement during lower extremity motor rehabilitation. Design Correlational …

Neural stimulation modulates the depolarization of neurons, thereby triggering activity-
associated mechanisms of neuronal plasticity. Activity-associated mechanisms in turn play a …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has been shown to trigger structural atrophic changes
within the spinal cord and brain. However, the relationship between structural changes and …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that affects approximately 294,000 people
in the USA and several millions worldwide. The corticospinal motor circuitry plays a major …

The work of recent decades has shown that the nervous system changes continually
throughout life. Activity-dependent central nervous system (CNS) plasticity has many …

Robotic devices are well-suited to provide high intensity upper limb therapy in order to
induce plasticity and facilitate recovery from brain and spinal cord injury. In order to realise …
