Article Synopsis
- Recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in lingering sensory and motor deficits, making complete restoration of preinjury function unlikely.
- Locomotion and motor control, particularly during eccentric muscle actions like the yield phase, are significantly impaired in these individuals, with specific deficits observed in the semitendinosus muscle during recovery.
- Changes in locomotor training focusing on eccentric actions may help develop new motor patterns, potentially identifying rehabilitation targets for those with incomplete recovery post-SCI.
