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 کاملNeuronal Mechanisms of Hyperexcitability in Individuals with Spasticity after Spinal Cord Injury and Individuals with Bruxism
Motoneuron hyperexcitability is a characteristic of several different motor disorders. We examined neuronal mechanisms of hyperexcitability in two of these disorders: spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI) and bruxism. Involuntary muscle spasms after SCI occur as a result of uncontrolled increases in motoneuron excitability. Brainstem-derived serotonin (5HT) and noradrenaline (NA) normally f...
