The recovery of standing and locomotion after spinal cord injury does not require task-specific training

The recovery of standing and locomotion after spinal cord injury does not require task-specific training

After complete spinal cord injury, mammals, including mice, rats and cats, recover hindlimb locomotion with treadmill training. The premise is that sensory cues consistent with locomotion reorganize spinal sensorimotor circuits. Here, we show that hindlimb standing and locomotion recover after spina...
