TL;DR: Exoskeleton training was generally safe and feasible in a heterogeneous sample of persons with SCI and results indicate potential benefits on gait function and balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of spinal neurons deprived of supraspinal input.
TL;DR: In chronic SCI, the absence of input from supraspinal sources has been suggested to lead to degradation of neuronal function below the level of the lesion or, alternatively, a predominance of inhibitory signaling to the locomotor pattern generator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Rehabilitation as an Agent for Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury
TL;DR: This article reviews the recent literature reporting emerging activity-based therapies that target recovery of standing and walking based on activity-dependent neuroplasticity and proposes a classification scheme for physical rehabilitation interventions to aid clinical decision making.

Rehabilitation and Health Care Robotics
TL;DR: The reader will be familiar with the history of rehabilitation robotics and its primary accomplishments, and will understand the challenges the field may face in the future as it seeks to improve health care and the well being of persons with disabilities.

Degradation of neuronal function following a spinal cord injury: mechanisms and countermeasures.
Volker Dietz,Roland Müller +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a degradation of spinal neuronal activity takes place following an SCI and if in the future regeneration of spinal tract fibres becomes feasible in patients with complete SCI, such an approach can only become functionally successful if neuronal activity below the level of the lesion is maintained.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
Book
Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function
TL;DR: This text encompasses the work of Dr Jacquelin Perry in her years as a therapist and surgeon focusing on the human gait, suitable for incorporating into many athletic training programmes, university physical therapy programmes and gait workshops.

International Standards for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury. American Spinal Injury Association.
TL;DR: The International Standards Booklet for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISBWC) as mentioned in this paper is a standard for the classification of spinal cord injury. But it is not a classification of neurological disorders.
