Spinal cord injury: time to move?
TL;DR: Recoverative approaches based on the presence of functional networks below the lesion combined with the above neurobiological approaches may produce significant functional recovery of some sensorimotor functions, such as locomotion, by ensuring an optimal function of endogenous spinal networks and establishing new dynamic interactions with supralesional structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of treatment trials in human spinal cord injury: issues, difficulties, and recommendations.
TL;DR: A large number of trials in the field of spinal cord injury have been conducted, but with few proven gains for patients, and this review reveals several shortcomings in trial design and makes several recommendations for improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery from a spinal cord injury: significance of compensation, neural plasticity, and repair.
TL;DR: The findings support the assumption that functional recovery occurs by compensation, especially in cSCI and by neural plasticity leading to a greater improvement in iSCI, and that relevant repair of damaged spinal pathways does not take place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of Locomotion After Spinal Cord Injury: Some Facts and Mechanisms
Serge Rossignol,Alain Frigon +1 more
TL;DR: After spinal cord injury (SCI), various sensorimotor functions can recover, ranging from simple spinal reflexes to more elaborate motor patterns, such as locomotion, which can be promoted by pharmacological, electrical, or rehabilitation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait rehabilitation machines based on programmable footplates.
TL;DR: Locomotor therapy is a fascinating new tool in rehabilitation, which is in line with modern principles of motor relearning promoting a task-specific repetitive approach and for the first time enables training of arbitrary walking situations.

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.

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.

TL;DR: International Standards for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury are published and will be used for clinical practice.

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.
