Abstract
- After spinal cord injury (SCI), widespread reorganization occurs within spinal reflex systems. Regular muscle activity may influence reorganization of spinal circuitry after SCI. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of long-term soleus training on H-reflex depression in humans after SCI. Seven subjects with acute ( 0.05) despite significant adaptations in torque and fatigue resistance (p < 0.05). Three subjects who began training very early after SCI retained H-reflex post activation depression, suggesting that early intervention of daily muscular activity may be important.
