A Review on Locomotor Training after Spinal Cord Injury: Reorganization of Spinal Neuronal Circuits and Recovery of Motor Function

Figure 4

Functional reorganization of reciprocal Ia inhibition after locomotor training in SCI. (a) Schematic diagram of the neuronal pathway of reciprocal Ia inhibition mediated by a conditioning afferent volley induced by stimulation of the ipsilateral common peroneal nerve at short conditioning-test (C-T) intervals. (b) Mean amplitude of the conditioned soleus H-reflex as a percentage of the unconditioned H-reflex recorded at each C-T interval tested before and after locomotor training from the right leg, grouped per AIS, in the seated position. indicate statistically significant differences of the conditioned H-reflexes recorded before and after locomotor training. Data adopted and modified from [90].
