This Review discusses the spinal neuronal changes that occur after a complete spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. Early after an SCI, neither locomotor nor spinal reflex activity can be evoked. Once ...

A training regimen to adjust the body's motor reflexes may help improve mobility for some people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, according to a study supported by the National Institutes of ...

Instructor: Maureen Moon, of Boulder. Moon has been a massage therapist for 30 years and has been doing Spinal Reflex Therapy for six. Moon serves on the Spinal Reflex Therapy International Company ...

With a study of the network between nerve and muscle cells in turtles, researchers have gained new insight into the way in which movements are generated and maintained. In the long term, the new ...

Electromyographic study in complete and incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Tendon taps were delivered manually with an instrumented hammer to the tendons of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscle ...

One of the most important functions of interneurons in the knee-jerk reflex is to mediate reciprocal inhibition. This process ensures that the contraction of the quadriceps muscle is accompanied by ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the eternal tug-o-war between involuntary reflexes and seamless voluntary movements ...

With a study of the network between nerve and muscle cells in turtles, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have gained new insight into the way in which movements are generated and ...
