Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials assessing adjunct therapies postbotulinum toxin injection for treatment of spasticity were included.
Passive Hind-Limb Cycling Reduces the Severity of Autonomic Dysreflexia After Experimental Spinal Cord Injury.
Neurorehabil Neural Repair
May 2016
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, Vancouver Health Authority, British Columbia, Canada
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces alterations in cardio-autonomic control of which autonomic dysreflexia (AD), a condition characterized by life-threatening hypertension, is arguably the most insidious. Passive hind-limb cycling represents a low-cost therapeutic intervention with demonstrable cardiovascular, sensory, and motor benefits.
Objective: To investigate the effect of passive hind-limb cycling on AD in rodents with T3 SCI.
