Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of locomotor training on motor recovery and walking ability in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury: a case series.
TL;DR: Gait training on a treadmill can enhance motor recovery and walking capabilities in subjects with incomplete SCI and an increase in lower extremity motor score and Walking capabilities at the end of training program was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematics and muscle activity of individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury during treadmill stepping with and without manual assistance
TL;DR: Providing manual assistance does not lower EMG amplitudes or alter muscle activation profiles in relatively higher functioning spinal cord injury subjects, and concerns that manual assistance will promote passivity in subjects are unsupported by the findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of sensory tongue stimulation combined with task-specific therapy in people with spinal cord injury: a case study
Amanda E. Chisholm,Raza Naseem Malik,Raza Naseem Malik,Jean-Sébastien Blouin,Jaimie F. Borisoff,Jaimie F. Borisoff,Susan Forwell,Susan Forwell,Tania Lam,Tania Lam +9 more
TL;DR: Sensory tongue stimulation combined with task-specific training may be a feasible method for improving balance and gait in people with iSCI and warrant further controlled studies to determine the added benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between reliance on devices and people for walking and ability to walk community distances among persons with spinal cord injury.
TL;DR: It is suggested that reliance on devices or a person for assistance is important to consider when assessing potential for achieving functional community ambulation.

Tapping into rhythm generation circuitry in humans during simulated weightlessness conditions
Irina A. Solopova,V. A. Selionov,Francesca Sylos-Labini,Victor S. Gurfinkel,Francesco Lacquaniti,Yuri P. Ivanenko +5 more
TL;DR: Current issues related to the “locomotor” state and interactions between spinal and supraspinal influences on the central pattern generator (CPG) circuitry in humans, which may be important for developing gait rehabilitation strategies in individuals with spinal cord and brain injuries are reviewed.

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.
