Rats have been the primary model to study the process and underlying mechanisms of
recovery after spinal cord injury. Two weeks after a severe spinal cord contusion, rats can …

The overall goal of this work was to create a high-resolution MRI atlas of the lumbosacral
enlargement of the spinal cord of the rat (Sprague–Dawley), cat, domestic pig, rhesus …

Movement is planned and coordinated by the brain and carried out by contracting muscles
acting on specific joints. Motor commands initiated in the brain travel through descending …

Intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) may help to restore motor functions after spinal cord
injury. ISMS caudal to the lesion activates motoneurons and evokes selective movements …

In this study, the neuroanatomy of the swine lumbar spinal cord, particularly the spatial
orientation of dorsal roots was correlated to the anatomical landmarks of the lumbar spine …

Significant advancements in spinal epidural stimulation (ES) strategies to enable volitional
motor control in persons with a complete spinal cord injury (SCI) have generated much …

BACKGROUND Millions of Americans experience residual deficits from traumatic peripheral
nerve injury (PNI). Despite advancements in surgical technique, repair typically results in …

Abstract Background and Purpose Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is approved by the Food
and Drug Administration for treating chronic intractable pain in the back, trunk, or limbs …

Objective. The objectives of this study were to assess gait biomechanics and the effect of
overground walking speed on gait parameters, kinematics, and electromyographic (EMG) …

Epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) is a potential treatment for the recovery of the motor
function in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Since the mechanism of ESCS remains unclear …
