Exploring new treatment for spinalized rats by synergising robotic rehabilitation system and regenerative medicine.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic event which leads to the loss of sensory and motor functions of the body. Complete recovery of these functions are usually limited due to the inability of the damaged axons within the central nervous system (CNS) to regenerate autonomously. Here, a combinatorial regenerative and rehabilitative approach to regrow damaged axons was proposed.
