In the researchers' words
The sensorimotor cortex may play a role in the functional recovery after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) through efference generated in the absence of the afference. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex in SCI patients after Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training (BWSTT) associated with conventional motor rehabilitation. METHOD: Seven SCI patients with ASIA C and D participated in this study. They were submitted to a motor-task functional magnetic resonance imaging study (fMRI) before and after the rehabilitation treatment.
