INTRODUCTION This case study explores the gains in hand function in an individual with a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The intervention was long-term paired associative simulation (PAS). We aimed to provide PAS un...
OBJECTIVE Our goal was to determine if pairing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with rehabilitation for two weeks could augment adaptive plasticity offered by these residual pathways to elicit longer-las...
The letter by Bouton et al.(2016)“Restoring cortical control of functional movement in a human with quadriplegia”presents a case report of a 24 year old male with tetraplegia(C5–6).The goal of the work was to b...
AIM: To evaluate the short and long-term effects of the complex cell therapy of 202 cases of spinal cord injury(SCI).METHODS: The main arm included 202 cases of SCI and the control arm included 20 SCI cases. For the t...
Spinal cord injury(SCI) is the injury of the spinal cord from the foramen magnum to the cauda equina whichoccurs as a result of compulsion, incision or contusion. The most common causes of SCI in the world are traffic...
Background: Functional electrically stimulated (FES)-arm ergometry has been shown to increase peak power output and aerobic capacity in individuals with cervical SCI. However, the functional benefits remain unknown. O...
Objective: Abdominal weights was used to strengthen the diaphragm of a C6 ASIA (A) tetraplegic subject with the aim of studying the long term effect of the technique as a part of respiratory rehabilitation. Setting: D...
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of ab-dominal weights and incentive spirometry for improving the strength of diaphragm in tetra-plegics. Setting: Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Christian M...
