KEY FINDING: Children with TBI had more severe cognitive disability on admission to inpatient rehabilitation compared to those with spinal cord injury or other injuries.

KEY FINDING: The subject exhibited wrist extension angles up to 60°, indicating a high degree of wrist strain during wheelchair propulsion.

KEY FINDING: Data suggest short-term improvements in BMD, whereas effects on fracture risk remain an area of debate.

KEY FINDING: FESC appears to be a safe intervention for youth with SCI, with no reported increase in knee/hip injury or hip displacement.

KEY FINDING: Activity-based therapy (ABT) led to significant improvements in respiratory capacity, reducing ventilator dependency and improving respiratory health in a child with cervical SCI.

KEY FINDING: The child demonstrated improved trunk control, progressing from needing support to sit upright to sitting independently without support for extended periods.

KEY FINDING: After 59 sessions of ABRT, the child demonstrated significant improvements in trunk control and arm function.

KEY FINDING: Five out of six participants completed the walking course in less time with the exosuit's assistance, although this reduction was not statistically significant (p=0.08), it showed a large effect size (d=0.88).

KEY FINDING: MEPs could be easily recorded in neonatal lambs using transcranial motor cortex stimulation.

KEY FINDING: Curcumin administration prior to HIE in neonatal mice elevated cell and tissue loss, as well as glial activation compared to HI alone.
