Quantifying Performance of Bipedal Standing with Multi-channel EMG [PDF]
Spinal cord stimulation has enabled humans with motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) to independently stand and recover some lost autonomic function. Quantifying the quality of bipedal standing under spinal stimulation is important for spinal rehabilitation therapies and for new strategies that seek to combine spinal stimulation and rehabilitative ...

Activity-based recovery training with spinal cord epidural stimulation improves standing performance in cervical spinal cord injury [PDF]
Background Individuals with a clinically complete spinal cord injury are unable to stand independently without external assistance. Studies have shown the combination of spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) targeted for standing with activity-based ...

Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain–spine interface
A reliable digital bridge restored communication between the brain and spinal cord and enabled natural walking in a participant with spinal cord injury. A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord

Progression in translational research on spinal cord injury based on microenvironment imbalance
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to loss of motor and sensory function below the injury level and imposes a considerable burden on patients, families, and society. Repair of the injured spinal cord has been recognized as a global medical challenge for many

Effects of diet and/or exercise in enhancing spinal cord sensorimotor learning. [PDF]
Given that the spinal cord is capable of learning sensorimotor tasks and that dietary interventions can influence learning involving supraspinal centers, we asked whether the presence of omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the curry spice ...

Data-driven characterization of walking after a spinal cord injury using inertial sensors
Background An incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to remaining sensorimotor function below the injury with the possibility for the patient to regain walking abilities.
