Background and Purpose: Collaboration between scientists and clinicians effectively
accelerated translation of scientific evidence for activity-based therapies (ABTs) into …

Harkema SJ, Hillyer J, Schmidt-Read M, Ardolino E, Sisto SA, Behrman AL. Locomotor
training: as a treatment of spinal cord injury and in the progression of neurologic …

Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) permits study of the brain's functional networks without
requiring participants to perform tasks. Robust changes in such resting state networks …

BACKGROUND Ventilator-dependent spinal cord–injured (SCI) patients require significant
resources related to ventilator dependence. Diaphragm pacing (DP) has been shown to …

In recent years, several investigators have successfully regenerated axons in animal spinal
cords without locomotor recovery. One explanation is that the animals were not trained to …

It has been suggested that neuroplasticity-promoting neuromodulation can restore sensory-
motor pathways after spinal cord injury (SCI), reactivating the dormant locomotor neuronal …

The aim of this study was to review the literature about the effects of activity-based therapy
(ABT) interventions on mobility, functional independence, and quality of life for people with a …

Context: Impaired balance function after a spinal cord injury (SCI) hinders performance of
daily activities. Objective: To assess the evidence on the effectiveness of task-specific …

Severe spinal cord injuries result in permanent paraparesis in spite of the frequent sparing
of small portions of white matter. Spared fibre tracts are often incapable of maintaining and …

Restoration of walking ability is an area of great interest in the rehabilitation of persons with
spinal cord injury. Because many cortical, subcortical, and spinal neural centers contribute …
