Motor recovery after activity-based training with spinal cord epidural stimulation in a chronic motor complete paraplegic
The prognosis for recovery of motor function in motor complete spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals is poor. Our research team has demonstrated that lumborsacral spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) and activity-based training can progressively promote the recovery of volitional leg … Continue reading

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation as a tool to investigate function of vestibulospinal, reticulospinal, and corticospinal descending pathways
Quantification of the function of the descending vestibulospinal, reticulospinal, and corticospinal pathways is critical to understanding the connectivity and neuroplasticity in the central nervous system. Previous works have examined the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS), auditory startle response (ASR), … Continue reading
