  1. 1. The data-driven CyberSpine : Modeling the Epidural Electrical Stimulation using Finite Element Model and Artificial Neural Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Yu Qin; [2023]
    Keywords : Spinal Cord Injury; Epidural Electrical Stimulation; Computational Neuroscience; Finite Element Model; Artificial Intelligence; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muscle Activation; Ryggmärgsskada; Epidural Elektrisk Stimulering; Beräkningsneurovetenskap; Finita Elementmodellen; Artificiell Intelligens; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muskelaktivering;

    Abstract : Every year, 250,000 people worldwide suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) that leaves them with chronic paraplegia - permanent loss of ability to move their legs. SCI interrupts axons passing along the spinal cord, thereby isolating motor neurons from brain inputs. To date, there are no effective treatments that can reconnect these interrupted axons.

  3. 2. Promote neuroprotection and axonal outgrowth in the central and peripheral neural system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Elin Petersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Spinal cord injury; interleukin-1 receptor antagonist; excitotoxicity; qPCR; dorsal root ganglion.;

    Abstract : Acute spinal cord injury is often caused by collisions with motor vehicles, falls or violence. This injury could potentially lead to paraplegia or tetraplegia, causing great economic and personal loss. The patophysiology is biphasic, with primary and secondary mechanisms. READ MORE

  4. 3. Rehabilitering med passiv rörelseträning, massage och ståträning på paraplegiska hundar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Linnea Forslind; [2018]
    Keywords : rehabilitering; diskbråck; paraplegi; hund; passiv rörelseträning; massage; ståträning; djuromvårdnad;

    Abstract : Diskbråck är en vanlig orsak till neurologisk dysfunktion hos hund och oavsett om skadan opereras eller inte behövs rehabilitering för att återfå bästa möjliga funktion i bakbenen. Ett diskbråck som orsakar paraplegi ger följder som orsakar ökad inaktivitet och ökad tid i stillhet. READ MORE

    Abstract : This report is the result of the master thesis project in Industrial Design engineering (IDE), performed at Luleå University of Technology, by Erik Vesterlund. The task was to produce a conceptual belly boat design that enables individuals paralyzed in the lower extremities to use, propel, maneuver, assemble and use a belly boat. READ MORE

  6. 5. PCR Optimisation and Sequencing of L1CAM for the Verification of a Mutation in a Family with L1 Syndrome

    University essay from Institutionen för klinisk och experimentell medicin

    Author : Malin Eriksson; [2009]
    Keywords : L1CAM; L1 syndrome; PCR optimisation; cycle sequencing;

    Abstract : L1 syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder, characterised by congenital hydrocephalus, adducted thumbs, spastic paraplegia, agenesis of the corpus callosum and mental retardation. The disease is caused by mutations in the L1CAM gene, encoding a protein predominantly expressed in the nervous system. READ MORE
