Background The seemingly simple tasks of standing and walking require continuous integration of complex spinal reflex circuits between descending motor commands and ascending sensory inputs. Spinal cord injury greatly impairs standing and walking ability,

Perception threshold and electrode position for spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
The perception threshold for epidural spinal cord stimulation in chronic pain management was analyzed on 3923 testing data obtained from 136 implanted patients.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of the human spinal cord during vibration stimulation of different dermatomes [PDF]
Introduction: We investigated noninvasively areas of the healthy human spinal cord that become active in response to vibration stimulation of different dermatomes using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Impaired transmission in the corticospinal tract and gait disability in spinal cord injured persons [PDF]
Rehabilitation following spinal cord injury is likely to depend on recovery of corticospinal systems. Here we investigate whether transmission in the corticospinal tract may explain foot drop (inability to dorsiflex ankle) in persons with spinal cord ...

Background: Chronic pain remains a major clinical challenge, which is often resistant to conventional treatments. Spinal cord stimulation has been used for decades to manage refractory pain, traditionally relying on open-loop systems with fixed-output ...

Twiddler’s syndrome in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
The aims are to present a case series of Twiddler's syndrome in spinal cord stimulators with analysis of the possible mechanism of this syndrome and discuss how this phenomenon can be prevented.Data were collected retrospectively between 2007 and 2013 for all patients presenting with failure of spinal cord stimulators.

Responses of substantia gelatinosa neurons to putative neurotransmitters in an in vitro preparation of the adult rat spinal cord [PDF]
Extracellular recordings were performed from neurons of the substantia gelatinosa (SG) in an in vitro preparation obtained from the spinal cord of adult rats. About 40% of neurons were spontaneously active.

Although epidural spinal cord and muscle stimulation have each been separately used for restoration of movement after spinal cord injury, their combined use has not been widely explored.

Spinal Cord Excitability and Sprint Performance Are Enhanced by Sensory Stimulation During Cycling
Spinal cord excitability, as assessed by modulation of Hoffmann (H-) reflexes, is reduced with fatiguing isometric contractions. Furthermore, spinal cord excitability is reduced during non-fatiguing arm and leg cycling.
