Evidence-Based Evaluation of Physiological Effects of Standing and Walking in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to spinal cord, which is categorized according to the extent of functional loss, sensation loss and inability of the subjects to stand and walk. The patients use two transportation systems including orthosis and wheelchair. It was claimed that standing and walking bring some benefits such as decreasing bone osteoporosis, prevention of pressure sores, and impro...
متن کاملFactors that Influence Quiet Standing Balance of Patients with Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries
OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors influencing the quiet standing balance of patients with incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries. Also to find the correlations between posturographic parameters and clinical balance tests as well as to find the correlation between posturographic parameters and functional independence. METHOD We conducted a tetra-ataxiometric posturography, lower extremity...
متن کاملSpinal cord injuries.
A recent article by Dr Robert Heimburger in the Journal was titled, “Is there hope for return of function in lower extremities paralyzed by spinal cord injury?” This question can be answered by showing that innovative attempts are currently being pursued in the hope, as requested by Dr Heimburger, to improve the neurologic results of patients who tragically sustain a spinal cord injury (SCI). D...
متن کاملBridging spinal cord injuries
One strategy for spinal cord injury repair is to make cellular bridges that support axon regeneration. However, the bridging cells often fail to integrate with host tissue and may lead to increased pain sensitivity. Recent work has tested bridging with two forms of progenitor-derived astrocyte. One type integrates, suppresses scar formation and promotes axon regeneration, whereas another very s...
متن کاملHealing Spinal Cord Injuries
Unlike those in the periphery, nerve fibers in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) do not recover from traumatic injury. This makes disabilities from spinal cord damage permanent, with the severity depending on the location of the cord injury. Neck injuries can paralyze the torso and limbs, while lower back injuries can impair movement below the waist. The spinal cord is a bundle...
