meninges, meninx - a membrane (one of 3) that envelops the brain and spinal cord leptomeninges - the two innermost layers of the meninges; cerebrospinal fluid circulates between these innermost layers 2. arachnoid - air-breathing arthropods characterized by simple eyes and four pairs of legs ar...
DJ Ryan1, JH Weinreb1, J Cheriyan2, JC Paul1, V Lafage1, T Kirsch1 and TJ Errico1 Background: Animal spinal cord injury (SCI) models have proved invaluable in better understanding the mechanisms involved in traumatic SCI and evaluating the effectiveness of experimental therapeutic interventions...
To alleviate these deficits, we developed a neuroprosthesis operating in closed loop that targets the dorsal root entry zones innervating lumbosacral segments to reproduce the natural spatiotemporal activation of the lumbosacral spinal cord during walking. We first developed this neuroprosthesis in a non...
Fig. 7.1. Diagram of the ASIA Standard Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury: Motor and Sensory exam. The neurological examination for this determination includes evaluation of the strength of five muscle groups in both the upper and lower extremities on the left and right along...
FIGURE 13.6.A diagram to show the estimated position of each of the major descending and ascending pathways that connect the brain with the spinal cord (crts=caudal reticulospinal tract; cu=cuneate fasciculus; dcs=dorsal corticospinal tract; dl=dorsolateral fasciculus; dlst=dorsolateral spinothalamic ...
Non-randomized clinical trial. Examine the feasibility, physical and psychosocial effects of a high intensity functional training (HIFT) exercise program for people with spinal cord injury (pSCI) and their care partners (CPs). Community fitness center in
PRISMA-guided systematic review. To provide a comprehensive framework of the current animal models for investigating spinal cord injury (SCI) and categorize them based on the aims, patterns and levels of injury, and outcome measurements as well as animal
An Evoked Spinal Cord Response refers to the recording of electrical activity in the spinal cord following a stimulus, such as a small shock over a peripheral nerve, used for monitoring neurologically compromised patients in an intensive care unit. ...
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is defined as a genetic disorder characterized by the degeneration of lower motor neurons in the spinal cord. It is caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene and can be classified into four types based on age of onset and severity of symptoms. ...
An implantable pulse generator (IPG) that generates spinal cord stimulation signals for a human body has a programmable signal generator that can generate the signals based on stored signal parameters without any intervention from a processor that controls the overall operation of the IPG. While the...
