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 ...

Lumbar discectomy with annulus fibrosus closure: A retrospective series of 53 consecutive patients

Introduction. - Lumbar disc herniation is most common degenerative alteration of the spine. Whenever surgical therapy proves to be necessary, recurrent disc herniation is most frequent concern. Here, primary aim was to determine the percentage of patients ...

Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors

Wei Zhang, Amir Muaremi

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 ...

Targeted dorsal root entry zone stimulation alleviates pain due to meralgia paresthetica

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Nicolas Hankov, Jimmy James Ravier, Viviana Aureli, Molywan Vat

Objective. Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a mononeuropathy of the exclusively sensory lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) that is difficult to treat with conservative treatments. Afferents from the LFCN enter the spinal cord through the dorsal root entry ...

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

Wei Zhang, Amir Muaremi

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 ...

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, Michael Weber

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 ...

Pedicle screw navigation using surface digitization on the Microsoft HoloLens

Davide Scaramuzza, Jess Snedeker

Purpose In spinal fusion surgery, imprecise placement of pedicle screws can result in poor surgical outcome or may seriously harm a patient. Patient-specific instruments and optical systems have been proposed for improving precision through surgical naviga ...

Selective Recruitment of Arm Motoneurons in Nonhuman Primates Using Epidural Electrical Stimulation of the Cervical Spinal Cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Marco Capogrosso, Giuseppe Schiavone, Beatrice Barra, Camille Roux

Recovery of reaching and grasping ability is the priority for people with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has shown promising results in improving motor control after SCI in various animal models and in humans. Nota ...

Tailoring swelling to control softening mechanisms during cyclic loading of PEG/cellulose hydrogel composites

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Baris Çaglar, Azadeh Khoushabi, Céline Samira Wyss

One of the novel approaches for discogenic lower back pain treatment is to permanently replace the core of the intervertebral disc, so-called Nucleus Pulposus, through minimally invasive surgery. Recently, we have proposed Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Dimethacryl ...

Chronic low back pain patients walk with locally altered spinal kinematics

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Guillaume Christe

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 ...
