The purpose of this study was to develop and test a spinal cord injury (SCI) peer support evaluation tool that meets the needs of community-based SCI organizations in Canada. Setting Peer support programs for people with SCI delivered by community-based SCI organizations. Methods This research wa...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces haemodynamic instability that threatens survival1–3, impairs neurological recovery4,5, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease6,7, and reduces quality of life8,9. Haemodynamic instability in this context is due to t
spinal cord10, which prevents the natural baroreflex from controlling these circuits to adjust peripheral vascular resistance. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord has been shown to compensate for interrupted supraspinal commands to motor circuits below the injury11, and restored ...
An unexpected research finding is providing new information that could lead to new treatments of certain neurological diseases and disorders, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and spinal cord injury. University of Alberta medical researcher Jason Plemel and key collaborators Joanne Stratton...

S100 calcium-binding protein β (S100β), a member of the S100 protein family, is one of the spinal cord injury (SCI) biomarkers extensively studied for its diagnostic and prognostic potential. The concentration of S100β is found to increase in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after ...

Epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) improves volitional motor and autonomic function after spinal cord injury (SCI). While eSCS has an established history of safety for chronic pain, it remains unclear if eSCS in the SCI population presents the same risk profile. We aimed to assess safety an...
