This case report explores the effects of Noise Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) combined with customized rehabilitation on a patient with chronic spinal cord injury and tetraplegia. The patient u...
KEY FINDING: Increments were observed in all assessments and tests, indicating improvements in functional independence, motor and sensory levels.
JOURNAL OF NEUROTRAUMA, 2020 • March 15, 2020
The paper summarizes the policy outcomes of the FAIR-SCI Ahead meeting and reports on progress implementing these policies in the form of a digital ecosystem: the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Inj...
KEY FINDING: The ODC-SCI implements FAIR data sharing and enables pooled data-driven discovery while crediting the generators of valuable SCI data.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2020 • September 1, 2020
This study evaluated the reliability and agreement of S3 pressure sensation (S3P) and voluntary hip adductor/toe flexor contraction (VHTC) as alternatives to deep anal pressure (DAP) and voluntary ana...
KEY FINDING: Test–retest reliability indicated perfect agreement (kappa = 1.0) for all data except S3P (kappa = 0.96).
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2020 • October 25, 2020
This case report describes a rare instance of cauda equina syndrome following a caudal epidural sacral injection in a 63-year-old male with severe lumbar spinal stenosis. The patient presented with mo...
KEY FINDING: Caudal epidural sacral injection in a patient with severe lumbar spinal stenosis resulted in cauda equina syndrome immediately after the procedure.
Top Spinal Cord Inj Rehabil, 2023 • January 1, 2023
This systematic review challenges the common belief that indwelling catheters lead to more UTIs than intermittent catheterization in individuals with spinal cord injuries. The review found that most s...
KEY FINDING: Most studies do not show a significant difference in UTI risk between indwelling and intermittent catheterization.

This manuscript describes the methods used for developing, refining, and implementing a framework of structure, process, and outcome indicators that reflect high-quality rehabilitation among adults wi...
KEY FINDING: The project established aims, constructs, and related structure, process, and outcome indicators to facilitate uniform measurement and benchmarking across 11 Domains of rehabilitation.
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 • June 30, 2020
This review discusses the pathological development of MMC, focusing on in utero injury to the exposed spinal cord and the need for understanding the causative factors and pathophysiological alteration...
KEY FINDING: The neurological deficits in MMC are not solely due to the initial defect but are worsened by in utero spinal cord injury.
Med Biol Eng Comput, 2020 • April 1, 2020
This study addresses the underestimation of maximum isometric force (MIF) in musculoskeletal models for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) using functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS). A sy...
KEY FINDING: Experiments indicate that an MIF of the 50% able-bodied values commonly used is significantly lower than the identified estimates in 33 of 44 muscle groups tested.
