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 کاملRestoring voluntary control of locomotion after paralyzing spinal cord injury.
Half of human spinal cord injuries lead to chronic paralysis. Here, we introduce an electrochemical neuroprosthesis and a robotic postural interface designed to encourage supraspinally mediated movements in rats with paralyzing lesions. Despite the interruption of direct supraspinal pathways, the cortex regained the capacity to transform contextual information into task-specific commands to exe...
متن کاملCenter of mass acceleration feedback control for standing by functional neuromuscular stimulation: a simulation study.
The potential efficacy of total body center of mass (COM) acceleration for feedback control of standing balance by functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) following spinal cord injury (SCI) was investigated. COM acceleration may be a viable alternative to conventional joint kinematics because of its rapid responsiveness, focal representation of COM dynamics, and ease of measurement. A comput...
متن کاملQuality of Residual Neuromuscular Control and Functional Deficits in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury
STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE This study examined the relationship between motor control and clinical function outcomes after spinal cord injury (SCI). SETTING University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, USA. MATERIALS Eleven persons with SCI and 5 non-injured subjects were included in this study. METHODS The ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) was used to categorize injury lev...
متن کاملAlterations in body composition and spasticity following subtetanic neuromuscular electrical stimulation training in spinal cord injury.
The objective of this prospective cohort study was to investigate alterations in body composition variables and spasticity following subtetanic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) training in an adult population with spinal cord injury (SCI). Fourteen sedentary adults with SCI (thoracic [T]4-T11; American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A/B; time since injury: 10.17 +/- 11.17...
