Highlighting gaps in spinal cord injury research in activity-based interventions for the upper extremity: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: The results highlight critical gaps within upper extremity high-intensity activity-based research in SCI.PMID:33967071 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210042

Central pain syndromes.
Authors: Hassaballa D, Harvey RL Abstract The management of pain in persons with neurological injuries is challenging and complex. A holistic view and clinical approach are necessary when addressing pain in patients with neurological impairment because interpreting signs and symptoms and deciphering sources of pain is never a straightforward process. This problem is further magnified with the management of central pain syndromes. The best approach is to have a good understanding of the clinical characteristics commonly found in this patient population, in particular for patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS)...

A cohort study of the association between psychosocial factors and pain in patients with Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Psychosocial factors are associated with pain early after stroke and SCI. Psychosocial factors are also associated with pain outcomes several months after stroke and SCI. This highlights the importance of psychosocial factors in both of these populations and their relationship with pain outcomes. PMID: 31796705 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of walkbot gait training on kinematics, kinetics, and clinical gait function in paraplegia and quadriplegia.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the Walkbot RAGT was effective for improving knee and hip kinematics and the active knee joint moment while decreasing hip resistive force. This is the first clinical evidence for intensive, long-term effects of the Walkbot RAGT on active or resistive moments and stiffness associated with spasticity and functional mobility in individuals with subacute or chronic paraplegia or quadriplegia who had reached a plateau in motor recovery after conventional therapy.

Changing the culture of neurodisability through language and sensitivity of providers: Creating a safe place for LGBTQIA+ people.
CONCLUSIONS: LGBTQIA+ people with neurodisabilities and their partners/families of choice can conceal their sexual orientation or gender identity for fear of diminished quality of care. Their invisibility translates into health disparities, lack of policies and services that meet their unique needs. Dementia is the most common neurodisability documented in LGBTQIA+ people. We provide recommendations to increase LGBTQIA+ cultural competency for clinical practice, research, and policy to help different stakeholders to promote a positive change in the culture of neurodisability.

Transvertebral direct current stimulation paired with locomotor training in chronic spinal cord injury: A case study.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that combining cathodal tvDCS and LT-RGO may improve functional outcomes, increase corticospinal excitability, and possibly decrease spasticity. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these conclusions.
