Targeting recovery: priorities of the spinal cord-injured population.
In the United States alone, there are more than 200,000 individuals living with a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Healthcare for these individuals creates a significant economic burden for the country, not to mention the physiological, psychological, and social suffering these people endure everyday. Regaining partial function can lead to greater independence, thereby improving quality of lif...
متن کاملRetraining the injured spinal cord.
The present review presents a series of concepts that may be useful in developing rehabilitative strategies to enhance recovery of posture and locomotion following spinal cord injury. First, the loss of supraspinal input results in a marked change in the functional efficacy of the remaining synapses and neurons of intraspinal and peripheral afferent (dorsal root ganglion) origin. Second, follow...

متن کاملSpinal Cord-Injured Rats
Opérant conditioning of the spinal stretch reflex or its electrical analog, the H-reflex, is a new model for exploring the mechanisms of long-term supraspinal control over spinal cord function. Primates and rats can gradually increase (HRup conditioning mode) or decrease (HRdown conditioning mode) the H-reflex when reward is based on H-reflex amplitude. An earlier study indicated that HRdown co...
متن کاملTopical Review Retraining the injured spinal cord
reorganization of the sensorimotor pathways occurs caudal to the lesion. Some of these changes are inevitable just from the loss of some or all descending fibres. Synapses on the membranes of interneurones, motoneurones and, perhaps, propriospinal neurones may change in number, size and distribution. Any of these alterations can contribute to changes in the efficacy of neuronal input. Even with...
