Motor preparation in postural control in seated spinal cord injured people

Article Abstract:

Research describing motor programming processes in spinal chord injured people is presented. In particular the effects of differing levels of sitting balance perturbation on injured and non-injured subjects is examined.

Postural motor programming in paraplegic patients during rehabilitation

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on motor programming in the sitting posture of thoracic spinal cord injured (SCI) patients to determine the time course of postural reorganization during their rehabilitation. Twelve patients who were divided into two groups were subjected to two experiments. Results showed that thoracic SCI patients' reaction times in postural perturbation movements reduced during rehabilitation. Moreover, low thoracic SCI patients appear to adopt more complex methods in maintaining and restoring sitting balance than high thoracic SCI patients.

Postural muscle responses in the spinal cord injured persons during forward reaching

Article Abstract:

Sitting balance in a spinal cord injured (ScI) person may be impaired because of sensorimotor deficits. Postural control was studied in high and low thoracic SCI people and in able-bodied controls, using a bimanual forward-reaching task. SCI people adopted different postural adjustments to face balance changes caused by the reaching movement.
