Novel Method for Analyzing Locomotor Ability after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats: Technical Note
In the research for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), the evaluation of motor function in model rats must be as objective, noninvasive, and ethical as possible. The maximum speed and acceleration of a mouse measured using a SCANET system were previously reported to vary significantly according to severity of SCI. In the present study, the motor performance of SCI model rats was examine...
متن کاملLocomotor training for walking after spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND A traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a lesion of neural elements of the spinal cord that can result in any degree of sensory and motor deficit, autonomic or bowel dysfunction. Improvement of locomotor function is one of the primary goals for people with SCI. Locomotor training for walking is therefore used in rehabilitation after SCI and might help to improve a person's ability to...
متن کاملTriptolide improves locomotor function after spinal cord injury (SCI) inrats
In this study a possible therapeutic effect of Triptolide (TPL) was explored on SCI rats. A dose of 5 mg/kg/ day was administered intraperitoneally and control groups were given PBS in the same amount at the same time interval in rats. A total of three main groups (n=20 each) were used and each group was divided in four sub-groups (n=5 each). Rats in all sub-groups were treated for a period of ...
متن کاملLocomotor training improves premotoneuronal control after chronic spinal cord injury.
Spinal inhibition is significantly reduced after spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. In this work, we examined if locomotor training can improve spinal inhibition exerted at a presynaptic level. Sixteen people with chronic SCI received an average of 45 training sessions, 5 days/wk, 1 h/day. The soleus H-reflex depression in response to low-frequency stimulation, presynaptic inhibition of soleus...
متن کاملLocomotor training progression and outcomes after incomplete spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of locomotor training with a body-weight-support system and treadmill (BWST) and manual assistance has increased in rehabilitation. The purpose of this case report is to describe the process for retraining walking in a person with an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) using the BWST and transferring skills from the BWST to overground assessment and community ambu...
