Non-invasive spinal cord electrical stimulation for arm and hand function in chronic tetraplegia: a safety and efficacy trial

Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Markus Maximilian Rieger

Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to permanent impairment of arm and hand functions. Here we conducted a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, open-label, non-significant risk trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of ARCEX Therapy to improve a ...

Loss of Motor Cortical Inputs to the Red Nucleus after CNS Disorders in Nonhuman Primates

Simon Borgognon

The premotor (PM) and primary motor (M1) cortical areas broadcast voluntary motor commands through multiple neuronal pathways, including the corticorubral projection that reaches the red nucleus (RN). However, the respective contribution of M1 and PM to co ...

Chondroitinase gene therapy improves upper limb function following cervical contusion injury

Bernard Schneider, Nicholas David James

Chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are known to be important contributors to the intensely inhibitory environment that prevents tissue repair and regeneration following spinal cord injury. The bacterial enzyme chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) degrades th ...

The Impact of Spinal Cord Nerve Roots and Denticulate Ligaments on Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics in the Cervical Spine

Bryn Andrew Martin

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the spinal subarachnoid space (SSS) have been thought to play an important pathophysiological role in syringomyelia, Chiari I malformation (CM), and a role in intrathecal drug delivery. Yet, the impact that fine anatom ...

Objective evaluation of cervical spine mobility after surgery during freeliving activity

Kamiar Aminian, Cyntia Duc

Background: Evaluation of cervical spine mobility after surgery is mainly based on the measurement of the range of motion during imposed movements. It can thus be questionable if this assessment represents the mobility experienced during daily life. The go ...

Concurrent validity of three measurement systems for the evaluation of cervical spine mobility

Kamiar Aminian, Cyntia Duc

In this study, we compared the cervical range of movement (ROM) and range of angular velocity (RAV) measured simultaneously using a 3-dimensional electrogoniometer, the CA6000-OSI (OSI), an optoelectronic motion capture system (MCS), the VICON® and a weara ...
