Development of a multi-electrode array for spinal cord epidural stimulation to facilitate stepping and standing after a complete spinal cord injury in adult rats
Background: Stimulation of the spinal cord has been shown to have great potential for improving function after motor deficits caused by injury or pathological conditions. Using a wide range of animal models, many studies have shown that stimulation applied to the neural networks intrinsic to the spinal cord can result in a dramatic improvement of motor ability, even allowing an animal to step a...
متن کاملIs the recovery of stepping following spinal cord injury mediated by modifying existing neural pathways or by generating new pathways? A perspective.
The recovery of stepping ability following a spinal cord injury may be achieved by restoring anatomical connectivity within the spinal cord. However, studies of locomotor recovery in animals with complete spinal cord transection suggest that the adult mammalian spinal cord can acquire the ability to generate stepping after all descending input is eliminated and in the absence of neuronal regene...
متن کاملEffect of chondroitinase ABC on inflammatory and oxidative response following spinal cord injury
Objective(s): Chondroitinase ABC (cABC) treatment improves functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) through degrading inhibitory molecules to axon growth. However, cABC involvement in other pathological processes contributing to SCI remains to be investigated. Here, we studied the effect of cABC I on oxidative stress and inflammation developed in a rat model of SCI.Materials and M...
متن کاملInfluence of Sexuality in Functional Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in rats
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major clinical condition and research is commonly done to find suitable treatment options. However, there are some degrees of spontaneous recovery after SCI and gender is said to be a contributing factor in recovery, but this is controversial. This study was done to compare the effects of sexual dimorphism on spontaneous recovery after spinal cord inj...
متن کاملKinematic analyses of air-stepping of neonatal rats after mid-thoracic spinal cord compression.
Although human infants suffer traumatic spinal cord injury, appropriate animal models have not been developed. The consequences of neonatal injury are not necessarily the same as in adults, so treatments designed for adults may not generalize to infants. Therefore, understanding the effects of traumatic injury to the developing cord is important. In this experiment, mid-thoracic spinal cords of...
