Animal Models for Studying Potential Training Strategies in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the late 1980s, it was clearly demonstrated that adult spinal cats can be re-trained to walk after a complete spinal cord transection, using treadmill training. This has led to profound changes in the rehabilitation of persons with spinal cord injury. The use of animal models to study training-induced locomotor plasticity after spinal cord injury has expanded since this original demonstration. The goal of the present review is to summarize findings obtained with these animal models that may be of relevance to the re-training of humans with spinal cord injury. From the complete spinal cord transection models, adaptive capacity, retention of training, task-specificity, role of cutaneous inputs, effect of training with robotic devices, and spinal cord stimulation will be discussed. From the partial spinal lesion models, the effect of ventral or dorsal lesions of the cord will be presented. Finally, the effects of drugs on training will be compared between the complete and partial spinal lesions models.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
