Abstract: In gait rehabilitation, combining gait therapy with functional electrical stimulation based on the nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) improves walking velocity and gait symmetry of hemiparetic patients. However, habituation of the NWR can affect the efficacy… read more here.

Abstract: Animal studies have previously shown that deep dorsal horn neurons play a role in the processing of spatial characteristics of nociceptive information in mammals. Human studies have supported the role of the spinal neurons; however,… read more here.
