Cold evoked potentials elicited by rapid cooling of the skin in young and elderly healthy individuals

Scientific Reports, 2022
Cold-evoked potentials (CEPs) constitute a novel electrophysiological tool to assess cold-specific alterations in somatosensory function. As an important step towards the clinical implementation of CEPs as a diagnostic tool, we evaluated the feasibility ...

Overground walking patterns after chronic incomplete spinal cord injury show distinct response patterns to unloading

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018
Background Body weight support (BWS) is often provided to incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) patients during rehabilitation to enable gait training before full weight-bearing is recovered.

Mind your step: Target walking task reveals gait disturbance in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Walking over obstacles requires precise foot placement while maintaining balance control of the center of mass (CoM) and the flexibility to adapt the gait patterns.

Effects of gabapentin on muscle spasticity and both induced as well as spontaneous autonomic dysreflexia after complete spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
We recently reported that the neuropathic pain medication, gabapentin (GBP; Neurontin), significantly attenuated both noxious colorectal distension (CRD)-induced autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and tail pinch-induced spasticity compared to saline-treated ...

Robotic body weight support enables safe stair negotiation in compliance with basic locomotor principles

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background After a neurological injury, mobility focused rehabilitation programs intensively train walking on treadmills or overground. However, after discharge, quite a few patients are not able to independently negotiate stairs, a real-world task with ...

Opposite modulation of functional recovery following contusive spinal cord injury in mice with oligodendrocyte-selective deletions of Atf4 and Chop/Ddit3

Scientific Reports, 2023
The integrated stress response (ISR)-activated transcription factors ATF4 and CHOP/DDIT3 may regulate oligodendrocyte (OL) survival, tissue damage and functional impairment/recovery in white matter pathologies, including traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI)

Mesenchymal stem cell grafts promote oligodendroglial differentiation after spinal cord injury [PDF]

, 2012
Transplantation of MSC into the acute injured spinal cord is sufficient to enhance oligodendroglial differentiation of endogenous spinal cord progenitor cells up to one month post-injury.

Schwann cell-derived exosomes containing MFG-E8 modify macrophage/microglial polarization for attenuating inflammation via the SOCS3/STAT3 pathway after spinal cord injury

Cell Death and Disease, 2023
Macrophage/microglia polarization acts as an important part in regulating inflammatory responses in spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the regulation of inflammation of Schwann cell-derived exosomes (SCDEs) for SCI repair is still unclear.

Preserved gait kinematics during controlled body unloading

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2017
Background Body weight supported locomotor training was shown to improve walking function in neurological patients and is often performed on a treadmill.

Neurotropin exerts neuroprotective effects after spinal cord injury by inhibiting apoptosis and modulating cytokines

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2021
Background/objective: Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely and irreversibly damages the central nervous system. Neurotropin (NTP), a nonprotein extract obtained from inflamed rabbit skin inoculated with vaccinia virus, is a drug that has been used for more ...
