Background and objective Neural reflex is hypothesized as a regulating step in spine
stabilizing system. However, neural reflex control is still in its infancy to consider in the …

Background and objective The current trend of laminoplasty is developing toward the goal of
muscle preservation and minimum tissue damage. Given this, muscle-preserving techniques …

The regrowth of severed axons is fundamental to reestablish motor control after spinal-cord
injury (SCI). Ongoing efforts to promote axonal regeneration after SCI have involved multiple …

Traumatic spinal cord injuries result from high impact forces acting on the spine and are
proceeded by an extensive secondary inflammatory response resulting in motor, sensory …

Implantable electrode arrays are powerful tools for directly interrogating neural circuitry in
the brain, but implementing this technology in the spinal cord in behaving animals has been …

Background: Heterotopic ossification of tendons and ligaments (HOTL) is a common clinical
condition characterized by the absence of discernible features and a lack of effective …

Background: In a Closed Claims study, most patients experiencing cervical spinal cord injury
had stable cervical spines. This raises two questions. First, in the presence of an intact …

Large animal contusion models of spinal cord injury are an essential precursor to
developing and evaluating treatment options for human spinal cord injury. Reducing …

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have investigated factors for non-specific chronic low
back pain (NSCLBP) in nurses, and have reached different conclusions. Evidence-based …

Background A graded hemi-contusion spinal cord injury produces complex anatomical
deformation of the spinal cord parenchyma. The relationship between lesion severity and …
