Robotic Postural Training With Epidural Stimulation for the Recovery of Upright Postural Control in Individuals With Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study

Neurotrauma Reports
Activity-based training and lumbosacral spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) have the potential to restore standing and walking with self-balance assistance after motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI).

Electrode geometry and preferential stimulation of spinal nerve fibers having different orientations: a modeling study [PDF]

, 1992
In a computer modeling study of epidural spinal cord stimulation using a longitudinal array of electrode contacts, the effect of contact geometry and contact combination on the threshold voltages for stimulation of dorsal column (DC) fibers and dorsal ...

Accuracy of transcranial magnetic stimulation and a Bayesian latent class model for diagnosis of spinal cord dysfunction in horses [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Spinal cord dysfunction/compression and ataxia are common in horses. Presumptive diagnosis is most commonly based on neurological examination and cervical radiography, but the interest into the diagnostic value of transcranial magnetic ...

Estimation of fiber diameters in the spinal dorsal columns from clinical data [PDF]

, 1998
Lack of human morphometric data regarding the largest nerve fibers in the dorsal columns (DCs) of the spinal cord has lead to the estimation of the diameters of these fibers from clinical data retrieved from patients with a new spinal cord stimulation ...

Central nociceptive sensitization vs. spinal cord training: Opposing forms of plasticity that dictate function after complete spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
The spinal cord demonstrates several forms of plasticity that resemble brain-dependent learning and memory. Among the most studied form of spinal plasticity is spinal memory for noxious (nociceptive) stimulation.

Spinal motor mapping by epidural stimulation of lumbosacral posterior roots in humans

iScience, 2021
Summary: Epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is an emergent strategy for the neurological recovery of lower-extremity motor function. Motoneuron pools are thought to be recruited by stimulation of posterior roots.

Activity-based recovery training with spinal cord epidural stimulation improves standing performance in cervical spinal cord injury

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
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 ...

The role of fibroblast growth factors in cell and cancer metabolism

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates crucial signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Therefore, FGFs and their receptors are often dysregulated in human diseases, including cancer, to sustain proliferation and rewire metabolism.
