Promoting spinal plasticity and functional recovery
Exercise based therapies
Our research has direct relevance to the design and implementation of future treatment and rehabilitation programs for SCI. Defining the involvement of specific molecular pathways in both the impairment and recovery of spinal excitability and locomotion after SCI is critical to identify possible new targets to enhance pharmacological management of SCI and improve locomotor function when combined with rehabilitation programs
Stimulation-based therapies
