Midsagittal Tissue Bridges and Walking Recovery in Spinal Cord Injury

To evaluate the relationship between the presence/absence and widths of midsagittal tissue bridges and walking ability among veterans with cervical SCI. Midsagittal tissue bridges are a surrogate measurement of preserved neural tissue adjacent to a spinal cord lesion that are assessed on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRIs). The presence and widths of these bridges are consistently associated with improved sensory and motor function following SCIs.
