Targeted regeneration of spinal cord neurons across a complete injury restores walking

Marco Milano

Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts axonal connections between the brain and the spinal cord, and is characterized by a spectrum of sensorimotor and autonomic impairments. While spontaneous recovery is limited, recent studies have shown that functional imp ...

Investigating the roles of reflexes and central pattern generators in the control and modulation of human locomotion using a physiologically plausible neuromechanical model

Auke Ijspeert, Andrea Di Russo, Dimitar Yuriev Stanev

Objective. Studying the neural components regulating movement in human locomotion is obstructed by the inability to perform invasive experimental recording in the human neural circuits. Neuromechanical simulations can provide insights by modeling the locom ...

Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors

Wei Zhang

Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...

Single cell atlas of spinal cord injury in mice reveals a pro-regenerative signature in spinocerebellar neurons

Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Claudia Kathe

After spinal cord injury, tissue distal to the lesion contains undamaged cells that could support or augment recovery. Targeting these cells requires a clearer understanding of their injury responses and capacity for repair. Here, we use single nucleus RNA ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders

Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...

Gait features for discriminating between mobility-limiting musculoskeletal disorders: Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis

Wei Zhang

Background: Functional ambulation limitations are features of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and knee osteoarthritis (OA). With numerous validated walking assessment protocols and a vast number of spatiotemporal gait parameters available from sensor-based as ...

Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...

Clinical implementation of accelerated T-2 mapping: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging as a biomarker for annular tear and lumbar disc herniation

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert

Objectives This study evaluates GRAPPATINI, an accelerated T-2 mapping sequence combining undersampling and model-based reconstruction to facilitate the clinical implementation of T-2 mapping of the lumbar intervertebral disc. Methods Fifty-eight individua ...

Neuroprosthetic Technologies to Evaluate and Train Leg Motor Control in Neurologically Impaired Individuals

Camille Georgette Marie Le Goff-Mignardot

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts many essential sensorimotor and autonomic functions. Consequently, individuals with SCI can face decades with permanent disabilities. Advances in clinical management have decreased morbidity, but no clinical trial has yet ...

The role of sensorimotor afferent feedback in mediating functional recovery after spinal cord injury

Kay Alexander Bartholdi

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to permanent deficits in sensory and motor function due to the physical disruption of descending and ascending pathways. As a consequence, spinal circuits below the level of lesion remain in an intact, but inactive state. A n ...

A Computational Approach for the Design of Epidural Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation Strategies to Enable Locomotion after Spinal Cord Injury

Emanuele Formento

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of paralysis with currently no effective treatment. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbar spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion in animal models of SCI, but has not yet reached the same lev ...

Chronic low back pain patients walk with locally altered spinal kinematics

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Various studies have reported alterations of spinal kinematics in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) during gait. However, while recent findings stressed the importance of multi-segment analysis, most of prior gait studies modelled the lumbar spine ...

Cortico-reticulo-spinal circuits mediate functional recovery after spinal cord contusion

Léonie Asboth

After a spinal cord injury (SCI), only half of affected individuals regain voluntary control of leg movements below the level of the lesion. Anatomical, electrophysiological and imaging data revealed that even the most severe forms of SCI usually spare a s ...

Multi-segment analysis of spinal kinematics during sit-to-stand in patients with chronic low back pain

Julien Favre

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been frequently reported in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), a better characterization of the kinematics during functional activities is needed to improve our understanding and therapeutic solutions fo ...

A brain-spine interface alleviating gait deficits after spinal cord injury in primates

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Marco Capogrosso, Quentin Barraud, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Tomislav Milekovic, David Allenson Borton, Elodie Rey

Spinal cord injury disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits that orchestrate movement. To bypass the lesion, brain-computer interfaces(1-3) have directly linked cortical activity to electrical stimulation of muscles, and have th ...

Patient-specific spinal stiffness in AIS: a preoperative and noninvasive method

Steve Michel Berger

The clinical tests currently used to assess spinal biomechanics preoperatively are unable to assess true mechanical spinal stiffness. They rely on spinal displacement without considering the force required to deform a patient's spine. We propose a preopera ...

Magnetic resonance 4D flow analysis of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in Chiari I malformation with and without syringomyelia

To analyse cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics in patients with Chiari type I malformation (CM) with and without syringomyelia using 4D magnetic resonance (MR) phase contrast (PC) flow imaging. 4D-PC CSF flow data were acquired in 20 patients with CM ( ...

Spinal Subarachnoid Space Pressure Measurements in an In Vitro Spinal Stenosis Model: Implications on Syringomyelia Theories

Full explanation for the pathogenesis of syringomyelia (SM), a neuropathology characterized by the formation of a cystic cavity (syrinx) in the spinal cord (SC), has not yet been provided. It has been hypothesized that abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pr ...
