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 …

The past decades have seen rapid and vast developments of robots for the rehabilitation of
sensorimotor deficits after damage to the central nervous system (CNS). Many of these …

Spinal sensorimotor networks that are functionally disconnected from the brain because of
spinal cord injury (SCI) can be facilitated via epidural electrical stimulation (EES) to restore …

Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) after spinal cord injury (SCI) induces several different
neurophysiological mechanisms to restore walking ability, including the activation of central …

Automaticity is a hallmark feature of walking in adults who are healthy and well-functioning.
In the context of walking,“automaticity” refers to the ability of the nervous system to …

Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or
extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in …
