Combining cortical and spinal stimulation maximizes improvement of gait after spinal cord injury

Roxanne Drainville, Marco Bonizzato, Davide Burchielli, Rose Guay Hottin, Alexandre Sheasby, Marina Martinez

This study shows that combining cortical and spinal stimulation improves gait recovery in rats with spinal cord injury more than either method alone.

Modulation of leg trajectory by transcranial magnetic stimulation during walking

Hubert Bourgeois, Rose Guay Hottin, El-Mehdi Meftah, Marina Martinez, Marco Bonizzato, Dorothy Barthélemy

This study uses TMS to show that cortical stimulation increases foot and knee height during walking, suggesting the motor cortex modulates gait trajectories.

Cortical neuroprosthesis-mediated functional ipsilateral control of locomotion in rats with spinal cord hemisection

Elena Massai, Marco Bonizzato, Isley de Jesus, Roxanne Drainville, Marina Martinez

This study shows that stimulating the ipsilateral motor cortex in rats with spinal cord injury can restore bilateral limb movement and postural control.

Uncovering and exploiting the return of voluntary motor programs after paralysis using a bi-cortical neuroprosthesis

Maude Duguay, Marco Bonizzato, Hugo Delivet-Mongrain, Nicolas Fortier-Lebel, Marina Martinez

This study uses a bi-cortical neuroprosthesis to investigate motor program recovery after spinal cord injury in cats, showing that cortical control can be re-established to modulate gait and alleviate foot drag.
