Havton,P H Ellaway,Michael G. Fehlings,A Privat,Robert G. Grossman,James D. Guest,Naomi Kleitman,Masaya Nakamura,M. Gaviria,D J Short +20 more
TL;DR: The spontaneous rate of recovery after SCI and resulting consequences for achieving statistically significant results in clinical trials are examined, based on previous data of the magnitude of spontaneous recovery afterSCI, as measured by changes in ASIA motor scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human neuronal control of automatic functional movements: interaction between central programs and afferent input
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient-cooperative strategies for robot-aided treadmill training: first experimental results
TL;DR: This paper deals with the application of "patient-cooperative" techniques to robot-aided gait rehabilitation of neurological disorders by hypothesized that such cooperative robotic approaches can improve the therapeutic outcome compared to classical rehabilitation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotor capacity of spinal cord in paraplegic patients.
TL;DR: In this study intrathecal application of clonidine drastically reduced, while epinephrine enhanced locomotor muscle electromyographic activity caused the induction of complex bilateral leg muscle activation combined with coordinated stepping movements in patients with complete paraplegia.

TL;DR: An international panel reviewed the methodology for clinical trials of spinal cord injury (SCI), and provided recommendations for the valid conduct of future trials, and focused on outcome measures that are relevant toclinical trials of experimental cell-based and pharmaceutical drug treatments.
