A pilot study investigating arm and leg FES-assisted cycling as an intervention for improving ambulation after Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2013
People with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) have the potential for recovering walking through plasticity-induced changes in the remaining neural circuitry. Current rehabilitation for walking attempts to induce such changes by providing relevant sensory inputs and motor commands through...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an extremely debilitating condition, leading to sensory and motor dysfunction below the level of the injury. Presently, there are few effective treatments for SCI. This is in part due to the immense complexity of SCI pathophysiology. Thus, combined research approaches...

Associative plasticity and afferent regulation of corticospinal excitability in uninjured individuals and after incomplete spinal cord injury
DownloadFall 2009
Cortical representations are plastic and are allocated based on the proportional use or disuse of a pathway. A steady stream of sensory input maintains the integrity of cortical networks; while in contrast, alterations in afferent activation promote sensorimotor reorganization. After an...

Maintaining balance is controlled by two different processes: feedforward and feedback control. Feed-forward control is used prior to performing voluntary movements whereas feedback control is used to correct for unexpected perturbations. Studies suggested that age-related changes in postural...

Development of Surrogate Spinal Cords for the Evaluation of Electrode Arrays Used in Intraspinal Implants
DownloadSpring 2012
A surrogate spinal cord was developed to test the mechanical stability of electrode arrays for intraspinal implants. The mechanical and surface properties of candidate materials were tested. The elastic modulus was characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis. Forces required to indent the...
