on gait in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Leveraging data from the Swiss Paraplegic Center, we constructed anatomically and muscularly scaled models for SCI-AFO users, aiming to predict ...

Spinal cord lesions are more commonly seen in progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, and they can result in an increased risk of disability. In relapsing-remitting MS, which 80 to 85 percent of ...

Abstract: This study tested our mathematical model's ability to predict isometric forces for children with spinal cord injuries. The model accounted more than 95% of the variance in the experimental ...

These facet joints are separate from the discs and keep the vertebrae from bending or twisting excessively, which could damage the spinal cord and the vital network of nerves that runs through the ...

A high level of calcium in the blood is called hypercalcaemia. Secondary bone cancer can put pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord. This is called malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC). It is ...

In a first-of-its-kind surgery, a team led by a University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) neurosurgeon has successfully removed a rare cancerous tumor wrapped around the spine and spinal cord ...

A second, smaller chordoma was strangling Flores’s spinal cord near the base of the skull ... fear,” especially when another doctor has labeled a case inoperable. “Fear should ignite ...

The central pattern generator (CPG) networks that generate relatively simple motor outputs are ideal experimental models for circuit analysis. Locomotor CPGs in the ventral spinal cord function ...

The two have been participating in the UAB Spinal Cord Injury Model System (SCIMS) research project for 50 years. The SCIMS was established in 1970 as a prospective longitudinal multicenter study on ...
