Local vasoconstriction in spinal cord-injured and able-bodied individuals.
Local vasoconstriction plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure in spinal cord-injured individuals (SCI). We aimed to unravel the mechanisms of local vasoconstriction [venoarteriolar reflex (VAR) and myogenic response] using both limb dependency and cuff inflation in SCI and compare these with control subjects. Limb blood flow was measured in 11 male SCI (age: 24-55 yr old) and 9 m...
متن کاملComparison of multidirectional seated postural stability between individuals with spinal cord injury and able-bodied individuals.
OBJECTIVES To compare multidirectional seated postural stability between individuals with spinal cord injury and able-bodied- individuals and to evaluate the impact of abdominal and low back muscle paralysis on multidirectional seated stability. DESIGN Case-control study. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen individuals with complete or incomplete spinal cord injury affecting various vertebral levels parti...
متن کاملAcute molecular responses of skeletal muscle to resistance exercise in able-bodied and spinal cord-injured subjects.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in muscle atrophy, which contributes to a number of health problems, such as cardiovascular deconditioning, metabolic derangement, and osteoporosis. Electromyostimulation (EMS) holds the promise of ameliorating SCI-related muscle atrophy and, therefore, improving general health. To date, EMS training of long-term SCI subjects has resulted in some muscle hypertro...
متن کاملLower limb conduit artery endothelial responses to acute upper limb exercise in spinal cord injured and able-bodied men
Vascular improvements in the nonactive regions during exercise are likely primarily mediated by increased shear rate (SR). Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience sublesional vascular deconditioning and could potentially benefit from upper body exercise-induced increases in lower body SR. The present study utilized a single bout of incremental arm-crank exercise to generate exercis...
متن کاملRating of Perceived Exertion as an Indicator of Exercise Intensity in Paraplegics
Background: Energy expenditure is of paramount importance in the assessment of usefulness of wheelchair for paraplegics. Despite widespread recognition of problems associated with currently available mobility systems for persons with spinal cord injuries, development of more efficient systems has been slow. Lack of a suitable and simple technique for the assessment of energy expenditure in par...
