Muscle atrophy and procedures for training after spinal cord injury.
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) of paralyzed muscles holds promise as a strategy to assist patients in executing functional movements after spinal cord injuries. Muscle atrophy is one of the major problems that must be addressed for this approach to be successful. Loss of muscle mass may occur as a result of lesions to motoneurons in either the spinal cord or the central command pathway...

متن کاملTherapeutic Stimulation for Restoration of Function After Spinal Cord Injury.
Paralysis due to spinal cord injury can severely limit motor function and independence. This review summarizes different approaches to electrical stimulation of the spinal cord designed to restore motor function, with a brief discussion of their origins and the current understanding of their mechanisms of action. Spinal stimulation leads to impressive improvements in motor function along with s...
متن کاملPotential Therapeutic Targets for PPARγ after Spinal Cord Injury
Traumatic injury to the spinal cord results in multiple anatomical, physiological, and functional deficits as a result of local neuronal and glial cell death as well as loss of descending and ascending axons traversing the injury site. The many different mechanisms thought to contribute to protracted secondary cell death and dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI) are potential therapeutic t...
متن کاملInterventional Radiology: Vascular Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures
For the most part, a system of component coding is used in these cases, in order to accurately describe the separately identifiable surgical and imaging services performed by the radiologist. In this way, the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code structure recognizes that there can be variations in the services performed during diagnostic angiography and vascular transcatheter therapies, wh...
