A Computational Approach for the Design of Epidural Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation Strategies to Enable Locomotion after Spinal Cord Injury

Emanuele Formento

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of paralysis with currently no effective treatment. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbar spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion in animal models of SCI, but has not yet reached the same lev ...

Cortico-reticulo-spinal circuits mediate functional recovery after spinal cord contusion

Léonie Asboth

After a spinal cord injury (SCI), only half of affected individuals regain voluntary control of leg movements below the level of the lesion. Anatomical, electrophysiological and imaging data revealed that even the most severe forms of SCI usually spare a s ...

A Computational Framework for the Design of Spinal Neuroprostheses

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Jocelyne Bloch

Severe Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) alters the communication between supra-spinal centers and the sensorimotor networks coordinating limb movements, which are usually located below the injury. Epidural electrical stimulation of lumbar segments has shown the ab ...

Spinal joint compliance and actuation in a simulated bounding quadruped robot

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Soha Pouya, Mohammad Khodabakhsh

Spine movements play an important role in quadrupedal locomotion, yet their potential benefits in locomotion of quadruped robots have not been systematically explored. In this work, we investigate the role of spinal joint actuation and compliance on the bo ...

Nano Fibrillated Cellulose Based Composite Hydrogels for an Injectable Intervertebral Disc Implant

Azadeh Khoushabi

Replacing the gel-like central part of the intervertebral disc (IVD), so-called nucleus pulposus (NP), via a minimally invasive surgery is one of the most recent approaches in the lower back pain treatments. An appropriate biomaterial for NP replacement (N ...

A brain-spine interface alleviating gait deficits after spinal cord injury in primates

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jocelyne Bloch, Tomislav Milekovic, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Marco Capogrosso, Elodie Rey, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, David Allenson Borton, Simone Ellen Joze Duis

Spinal cord injury disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits that orchestrate movement. To bypass the lesion, brain-computer interfaces(1-3) have directly linked cortical activity to electrical stimulation of muscles, and have th ...

Fast simulations of patient-specific haemodynamics of coronary artery bypass grafts based on a POD-Galerkin method and a vascular shape parametrization

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni, Elena Faggiano

In this work a reduced-order computational framework for the study of haemodynamics in three-dimensional patient-specific configurations of coronary artery bypass grafts dealing with a wide range of scenarios is proposed. We combine several efficient algor ...

An image-based method to automatically propagate bony landmarks: application to computational spine biomechanics

In attempts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of spinal injuries and spinal deformities, several experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to understand the biomechanical behavior of the spine. However, numerical biomechanical studies suf ...

Neuroprosthetic technologies to augment the impact of neurorehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Nicolas Francis Fumeaux, Marco Capogrosso, Rubia van den Brand, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot

Spinal cord injury leads to a range of disabilities, including limitations in locomotor activity, that seriously diminish the patients’ autonomy and quality of life. Electrochemical neuromodulation therapies, robot-assisted rehabilitation and willpower-bas ...
