Neurorehabilitation Research

KEY FINDING: The transplantation of autologous olfactory ensheathing cells into the injured spinal cord was found to be feasible and safe for up to 3 years post-implantation.

KEY FINDING: The study demonstrated fair to good inter- and intra-rater reliability for measuring isometric muscle force in the lower extremities using the Lokomat in subjects with and without neurological movement disorders.

KEY FINDING: Treadmill training is effective in accelerating walking development in children with Down syndrome.

KEY FINDING: The review identifies four categories of active assistance control strategies: impedance-based, counterbalance-based, EMG-based, and performance-based adaptive assistance.

KEY FINDING: High-dose physiotherapy is generally more effective than no rehabilitation intervention for reducing impairment and disability after neurological injuries.

KEY FINDING: Experience-dependent processes, including disinhibition and synapse stabilization, are crucial for recovery after CNS injury.

KEY FINDING: All BWSLT approaches improved gait quality in subjects with SCI, increasing cadence, step length, and stride length.

KEY FINDING: 75% of subjects developed electromyographic activity below their lesions.

KEY FINDING: aNMES automatically and reliably tracked the desired hip trajectory with low error during lengthy sessions.

KEY FINDING: Tizanidine significantly decreased stretch-evoked joint torque at the ankle (p < 0.001).
