Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022 • July 6, 2022
This study evaluated the impact of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on the corticomotor excitability of the biceps brachii in individuals with tetraplegia compared to nonimpaired individual...
KEY FINDING: Active iTBS increased normalized motor evoked potentials (nMEPs) over time in individuals with SCI, but not nonimpaired individuals.
Cureus, 2022 • June 13, 2022
This study was conducted at the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Government Medical College, Trivandrum, India, from June 2009 to February 2011. The study findings emphasize on pati...
KEY FINDING: Most (52.4%) of the patients were manual laborers (85.7% males).
Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2022 • July 6, 2022
This case report describes the successful recovery of voiding and sexual function in a patient with chronic complete spinal cord injury following olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplantation combi...
KEY FINDING: The patient's ASIA Impairment Scale improved from ASIA A to ASIA C following OEC transplantation and neurorehabilitation.
BMJ Open, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This study is a phase II single-arm preclinical–postclinical trial that measures outcomes at every assessment with intervention toggled on or off. All participants are assigned to a single treatment g...
KEY FINDING: The central hypothesis of this study is that eSCS will restore some function in patients with chronic SCI that can be optimised using remotely collected data.
Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2022 • June 16, 2022
This study explored solutions to improve the prevention of secondary health conditions (SHCs) in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in South Africa, gathering views from both healthcare users and pr...
KEY FINDING: Participants highlighted the need for health care services closer to where they live for pressure sore management care, weekly check-up and follow-up care.
Surgical Neurology International, 2022 • June 3, 2022
This meta-analysis evaluated the incidence of noniatrogenic spinal cord ischemia, focusing on the spinal levels involved, and the relative efficacy of different management strategies. The most common ...
KEY FINDING: Traumatic causes of spinal cord ischemia were associated with worse outcomes, while those without a clear diagnosis despite extensive work-up had better results.
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This study investigated the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of community game-based respiratory muscle training (RMT) for individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCI). The results indica...
KEY FINDING: Forced vital capacity (FVC) was significantly improved after the game-based RMT intervention.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 • July 8, 2022
This study investigates the neuroprotective effects of catalpol (CAT) on spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. The research demonstrates that CAT promotes functional recovery in SCI rats by inhibiting ER ...
KEY FINDING: CAT has a restorative effect on the lower limb motor function of rats with SCI.
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 • July 6, 2022
This study aimed to develop a specific Gait Deviation Index (SCI-GDI) for adults with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and compare it with the original GDI and the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II (WIS...
KEY FINDING: A 21-feature basis is necessary to account for most of the variance in gait patterns in the SCI population and to provide high-quality reconstructions of the gait curves.
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 • July 7, 2022
The study aimed to determine if gabapentinoids administration may synergize with cardiovascular-based efforts like treadmill training. The findings indicated that no additive, beneficial effect of volu...
KEY FINDING: Voluntary treadmill training did not enhance forelimb recovery in mice after cervical SCI, regardless of whether they were administered GBP or vehicle.
