The purpose of this study was to characterize lesion development, neural plasticity, and motor learing after spinal cord injury. Facilitatory intervention such as weight bearing and locomotor training after SCI may be more effective than compensatory strategies at inducing neuroplasticity and motor recovery. Minimal tissue sparing has a profound impact on segmental systems and recovery of function Spinal animal could functional locomotion when subjected to repetitive stimulation. task-specific learning of isolated lumbar spinal could improve motor performance more then other task learning.
