“…After SCI, reorganization of spinal circuitry leads to loss of post activation depression (Ashby, Verrier, & Lightfoot, 1974; Calancie et al, 1993; Hiersemenzel, Curt, & Dietz, 2000; Schindler-Ivens & Shields, 2000; Shields, 2002; Skinner, Houle, Reese, Berry, & Garcia-Rill, 1996). We recently showed that constrained-limb vibration training can initiate a restoration of post-activation depression, even in patients with long-standing SCI (Yen, McHenry, Petrie, Dudley-Javoroski, & Shields, 2017). Vibration training may therefore have merit as an intervention to trigger neural adaptation in patients with SCI.…”
