Spinal cord circuitry, not the brain, controls reflexes for smooth movements, as revealed in a study. This could pave the way for newer neurological disorder therapies. An intriguing question has ...

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 new study. A training regimen to adjust the body's ...

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 ...

To investigate the effects of plantar cutaneous afferent excitation on the soleus H-reflex and flexion reflex in both subject groups while seated. The flexion reflex in SCI subjects was elicited by ...

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 ...

This study investigates changes in spinal excitability using peripheral nerve stimulation. We use the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) to assess segmental changes following a neuroplasticity-priming ...

New research has shown that the spinal cord is able to process and control complex functions, like the positioning of your hand in external space. 'This research has shown that a least one important ...

Pulling your hand away from a hot object, blinking because it's very bright or kicking when someone taps the tendon below your kneecap - these are all innate reflex actions. They happen rapidly, you ...

Scientists in Sweden and the U.K. developed a surgical technique to reconnect the spinal cord with sensory neurons after traumatic spinal injuries. Now, by recreating the technique in rats, they have ...

What is the function of the spinal cord? Scientists find that the spinal cord may play a bigger role in movement control and be ‘smarter’ than originally believed. New research from the University of ...
