The spinal cord.
Science Weekly ; [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Background Perhaps due to the publicity surrounding Christopher (Superman) Reeve's spinal cord injury, caused by a riding accident, many people know that spinal cord injury can result in paralysis. As a result of spinal cord injury, some people cannot walk, others cannot move
Vascular Events After Spinal Cord Injury: Contribution to Secondary Pathogenesis.
Physical Therapy ; Spinal cord injury results in the initial physical disruption of structures in the spinal cord (primary insult) and in the generation of secondary events that collectively injure intact, neighboring tissue. The concept of secondary injury was originally described in 1911 by Allen,[1,2] who reported

She had performed the vault--a round-off onto a springboard, followed by a backspring onto the vaulting horse--countless times since she first learned how to do it in 1985.
Neuroanatomical Substrates of Functional Recovery After Experimental Spinal Cord Injury: Implications of Basic Science Research for Human Spinal Cord Injury.
Physical Therapy ; Aproximately 10,000 people survive spinal cord injury (SCI) each year, with the total SCI population in the United States ranging from 175,000 and 275,000 individuals.[1] The majority of these individuals experience moderate to severe motor impairment, and 60% require some assistance to function on

Is the recovery of stepping following spinal cord injury mediated by modifying existing neural pathways or by generating new pathways? a Perspective. (Spinal Cord Injury Special Series).
Physical Therapy ; Recently, there has been a surge in the efforts to regenerate the injured spinal cord as a primary means of regaining locomotor function in the adult mammal. Indeed, restoring some anatomical and perhaps functional connectivity appears to be possible based on studies that have used, for example,

Spinal Cord Control of Movement: Implications for Locomotor Rehabilitation Following Spinal Cord Injury.
Physical Therapy ; An almost universal statement of individuals following spinal cord injury (SCI) is: I will walk again.[1] Estimates suggest that more than 80% of individuals with motor incomplete SCI regain some locomotor function.[2,4] Although motor abilities may improve throughout the first postinjury year,[5]
