Rehabilitation Research

KEY FINDING: Spinal cord imaging showed hyperintensities with a quadrifocal white matter involvement.

KEY FINDING: Employers often hold expectations based on an employee's pre-injury work capacity, sometimes forgetting the ongoing challenges posed by SCI.

KEY FINDING: The type of visual feedback significantly affects all eye-tracking metrics across monitor, physiotherapist, and surrounding areas of interest.

KEY FINDING: Seventy sessions of ABRT reduced urine overproduction in SCI rats, but not to pre-SCI baseline levels.

KEY FINDING: The 2mWT is highly correlated with the 6mWT, indicating it measures similar aspects of walking function.

KEY FINDING: Spontaneous movements are seen as beneficial experiences with positive therapeutic effects. These characteristics are usually present, but individuals with spontaneous movements do not display all of these characteristics all of the time.

KEY FINDING: Subthreshold spinal cord stimulation significantly enhanced motor cortex evoked muscle potentials when paired synchronously in the spinal cord, demonstrating the importance of timing.

KEY FINDING: Exercise, including arm ergometry and treadmill training, shows promise in reducing SCI-induced pain and improving quality of life.

KEY FINDING: EPOCS can be used to down-condition the Hoffmann reflex in the soleus muscle, which can improve walking in people with spastic gait due to incomplete spinal-cord injury.

KEY FINDING: PBM reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and microglia activation in traumatic brain injury animal models.
