Rehabilitation Research

KEY FINDING: The integumentary system contributes to thermoregulation, sensation, and fascial mobility, all crucial for rehabilitation after ACLR.

KEY FINDING: Physical activity induces animal growth and proliferation in the spinal cord.

KEY FINDING: Four out of seven studies demonstrated statistically significant improvements in outcome measurements on UL function and strength after RT.

KEY FINDING: Surgical techniques like decompression and stabilization are used to prevent further injury, but their effectiveness in restoring function remains controversial.

KEY FINDING: Salamanders can recover locomotor function after complete spinal cord transection due to the regeneration of descending pathways.

KEY FINDING: Long-term blockade of SFK activation with PP2 increases locomotor activity at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post-injury in the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan open field test, round and square beam crossing tests.

KEY FINDING: Para cyclists generally maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range (euglycemia) most of the time.

KEY FINDING: The software predicted that the subject could increase his walking speed by 60% without increasing his metabolic cost per unit time by modifying existing muscle synergy recruitment.

KEY FINDING: During tied-belt locomotion, the contralesional hindlimb's speed-dependent changes were similar to intact conditions, while the ipsilesional hindlimb showed shorter stance and longer swing phases.

KEY FINDING: A rehabilitation-led model for managing OSA was successfully adapted and implemented in an Australian SCI rehabilitation center.
