Abstract:
A study was done in 1986 that compared assistive device (AD) users and non-users on their functioning, temperament, and perceived quality of life. A follow-up study was conducted in 1988 with all of the original study participants in order to assess changes over time in the above mentioned areas. The original methodology was repeated with five female adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and five male adults with spinal cord Injuries (SCI). Additionally, two individuals with recent spinal cord injuries were added to the sample. The findings indicate that the functional capacities and temperament of participants with CP both tended to improve over time whereas most SCI participants seemed to become less well-adjusted in several areas. While the SCI users of ADs continued to display the best overall functioning of all participant groups, the SCI non-users reported the most functional declines over time with the gaps between them and the SCI users widening.

Abstract:
People with severe motor-impairments due to Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) or Spinal Cord Dysfunction (SCD), often experience difficulty with accurate and efficient control of pointing devices (Keates et al., 02). Usually this leads to their limited integration to society as well as limited unassisted control over the environment. The questions “How can someone with severe motor-impairments perform mouse pointer control as accurately and efficiently as an able-bodied person?” and “How can these interactions be advanced through use of Computational Intelligence (CI)?” are the driving forces behind the research described in this paper. Through this research, a novel fuzzy mouse cursor control system (FMCCS) is developed. The goal of this system is to simplify and improve efficiency of cursor control and its interactions on the computer screen by applying fuzzy logic in its decision-making to make disabled Internet users use the networked computer conveniently and easily. The FMCCS core consists of several fuzzy control functions, which define different user interactions with the system. The development of novel cursor control system is based on utilization of motor functions that are still available to most complete paraplegics, having capability of limited vision and breathing control. One of the biggest obstacles of developing human computer interfaces for disabled people focusing primarily on eyesight and breath control is user’s limited strength, stamina, and reaction time. Within the FMCCS developed in this research, these limitations are minimized through the use of a novel pneumatic input device and intelligent control algorithms for soft data analysis, fuzzy logic and user feedback assistance during operation. The new system is developed using a reliable and cheap sensory system and available computing techniques. Initial experiments with healthy and SCI subjects have clearly demonstrated benefits and promising performance of the new system: the FMCCS is accessible for people with severe SCI; it is adaptable to user specific capabilities and wishes; it is easy to learn and operate; point-to-point movement is responsive, precise and fast. The integrated sophisticated interaction features, good movement control without strain and clinical risks, as well the fact that quadriplegics, whose breathing is assisted by a respirator machine, still possess enough control to use the new system with ease, provide a promising framework for future FMCCS applications. The most motivating leverage for further FMCCS development is however, the positive feedback from persons who tested the first system prototype.

Abstract:
The salient point of this research was to investigate the key factors of assistive devices for people with severe physical disabilities, i.e. spinal cord injury, when selecting and using an input device. The area of study was also concerned with validating a new computer device to enable those individuals with upper-limb impairments to engage the benefits of computer technology, via both user-issue and scientific-based evaluations. A specific methodology, concermng both user-Issue and scientific-evidence, was proposed for the studies related to assistive technology outcome measures. In order to validate the proposed methodology, the research work began with an in-depth survey (Study A), to give an insight into the present selection and utilisation of input devices among those computer users with spinal cord injuries and identify their specific needs when using a computer. Following the findings of this contextual survey, a SCI users' needs hierarchy was proposed for input device selection and use. Specific touchscreen devices, which matched the criteria in the hierarchy, were suggested as a possible solution for users with severe upper-limb disorders. Then, a series of user-centred validation studies, involving a pilot simulation study associated with a dimensional issue of an input device (Study B), followed by usability evaluations at the introductory phase (Study C), after short-term use and training (Study D) and after longer-term use and outcome comparisons (Study E), were carried out. The user perspectives and scientific data obtained from the usability assessments form the SCI subjects were used not only to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the assistive device, but also to fill the gap between the merely psychological/psychosocial-based measures and the merely scientific-focus evaluation. By merging a specific research technique and a systematic measuring procedure, a conceptual model for evaluating assistive technology outcome measures has been provided for this field of study. Moreover, this research has shown that the integration of user-issue and scientific-evidence can increase the reliability and validity of this type of device outcome measures and, therefore, attain a good match between users and the technology employed.

Abstract:
Iron is essential for life, but its redox activity can render it toxic under certain conditions. Mammalian cells and the organism as a whole have evolved several mechanisms to acquire and utilize iron. The dysregulation of these iron homeostatic mechanisms can cause a number of human diseases and is likely to be a contributing factor in many disorders of the nervous system. Traumatic injuries to the central nervous system (CNS) that result in hemorrhage and cellular disruption can also be associated with impaired iron homeostasis. However, little work has been done to understand the molecular control of iron homeostasis after CNS trauma. The main aim of my thesis research was to investigate the mechanisms underlying the handling of iron after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its impact on secondary pathology and locomotor recovery.
In Chapter 2, I carried out a detailed assessment of the localization of iron, and the expression of proteins involved in its trafficking and storage after SCI in mice. This data revealed important and distinct roles for macrophages and astrocytes in iron homeostasis after SCI. In addition, the work showed that iron-loaded macrophages remain at the lesion site for extended periods of time and eventually release their iron, contributing to delayed toxicity. I also examined the role of ceruloplasmin in the iron homeostatic response to SCI using Cp-/- mice. These studies demonstrated that CP plays an important protective role in the injured spinal cord.
In Chapter 3, I sought to further investigate how inflammatory signals (cytokines) may regulate iron homeostasis in astrocytes and microglia. As SCI is known to be associated with a robust inflammatory response involving TNF-a and TGF-b1, I assessed the effects of these cytokines on iron homeostasis in astrocytes and microglia. The studies showed that these two glial cell types exhibit distinct iron homeostatic responses to TNF-a and TGF-b1, and help explain some of the in vivo results seen in SCI. The SCI work also revealed that macrophages phagocytose red blood cells (RBC) at the injury site. I therefore assessed the effects of RBC phagocytosis on the cytokine expression profile of macrophages in vitro. These results (presented in chapter 3) show that RBC phagocytosis results in a switch from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory cytokine expression; thus suggesting that macrophages that have phagocytosed RBCs in SCI may be anti-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic in nature. Finally in Chapter 4, I examined the role of the iron binding protein Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) in SCI. In this chapter I show that the expression of Lcn2 and its receptor are increased in CNS cells, as well as certain types of invading immune cells after SCI. Using Lcn2-/- mice, I show that Lcn2 plays a detrimental role, and that it contributes to inflammation and secondary cell death after SCI.
Together the results presented in this thesis shed light on the iron homeostatic response and its interplay with inflammation in spinal cord injury.
Le fer est essentiel pour les organismes vivants. Toutefois, son pouvoir oxydoréducteur peut le rendre toxique dans certaines conditions. Les mammifères ont développé plusieurs mécanismes cellulaires pour capter et utiliser le fer, or le dérèglement de ces derniers peut mener à de nombreuses maladies chez l'homme. Plus spécifiquement, des défauts de l'homéostasie ferrique sont impliqués dans de nombreuses pathologies du système nerveux central (SNC), comme par exemple les lésions traumatiques menant à des hémorragies et des lyses cellulaires. Néanmoins, très peu d'études ont été entreprises à ce jour pour comprendre les mécanismes moléculaires contrôlant l'homéostasie du fer qui se mettent en place à la suite de traumatismes du système nerveux. Le but principal de ma thèse a été d'étudier les mécanismes moléculaires de prise en charge du fer après des lésions de la moelle épinière (LME), ainsi que leurs impacts sur les pathologies secondaires liées à ces lésions et le rétablissement de la locomotion.
Une évaluation détaillée de la localisation du fer et des protéines impliquées dans son transport et son stockage après induction de LME chez la souris a été entreprise (chapitre 2). Ces analyses ont révélé que les astrocytes et les macrophages jouent un rôle primordial et distinct dans l'homéostasie ferrique. En effet, cette étude a démontré que pour contribuer à retarder la toxicité, les macrophages chargés de fer demeurent sur le lieu de la lésion durant une période prolongée avant d'éventuellement relâcher leur fer. J'ai également examiné le rôle de la ceruloplasmine en utilisant des souris Cp-/-, révélant que cette dernière protège la moelle épinière lors de lésions.
Ensuite, j'ai poursuivi mes investigations pour savoir comment les signaux inflammatoires tels que les cytokines peuvent réguler l'homéostasie ferrique des astrocytes et des microglies (chapitre 3). Les LME sont connues pour être associées à une forte réponse inflammatoire qui implique les cytonkines TNF-a et TGFb1. En conséquence, j'ai évalué les effets de ces dernières sur l'homéostasie ferrique des astrocytes et des microglies. Ces études ont démontré que ces deux types de cellules gliales possèdent une homéostasie ferrique distincte en réponse au TNF-a et TGFb1, pouvant expliquer certains effets des LME observés in vivo. Les études sur les LME ont révélé que les macrophages peuvent phagocyter les globules rouges (GR) au niveau du site de la lésion. J'ai donc entrepris d'étudier les effets de la phagocytose des GR sur le profil d'expression des macrophages in vitro. Les résultats obtenus montrent que la phagocytose des GR induit un transfert d'expression de cytokines pro-inflammatoires à anti-inflammatoires. Cette observation suggère que les macrophages ayant phagocytés les GR lors de LME pourraient êtres de nature anti-inflammatoire et pro-fibrogène.
Finalement, j'ai examiné le rôle de la protéine Lipocaline2 (Lcn2) lors de LME (chapitre 4). Les Lcn2 sont des protéines complexant le fer. J'ai démontré que leur expression ainsi que celle de leurs récepteurs était augmentée dans le SNC suite à des LME, tout comme certains types de cellules envahissantes du système immunitaire. L'utilisation de souris Lcn2-/- m'a permis de démontrer que Lcn2 joue un rôle nuisible en contribuant à la mort cellulaire post- LME par des voies inflammatoires et secondaires. Les résultats présentés dans cette thèse ouvrent de nouvelles connaissances sur l'homéostasie ferrique et la réponse inflammatoire réciproque lors de lésions de la moelle épinière.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to analyze specific biomechanical and physiological variables in disabled swimmers performing a functional backcrawl. The effect of selectively placed flotation devices on the body position, exercise heart rate, and perceived exertion of the swimmer was compared to swimming with no flotation. The participants in the study included eight able-bodied males 21.5 (+2.51) yrs. and four disabled males 29.25 (+2.22) yrs. Each subject performed the backcrawl for 3 consecutive lengths of a 25 meter pool under four separate trial conditions: free swimming, swimming with the hip flotation device, the knee flotation device, and the ankle flotation device. Immediately following each trial a post-exercise heart rate was taken and the subject was asked to rate perceived exertion. Full recovery was allowed after each trial. Trials were video taped and digitized to determine the mean angles at the neck, trunk, hip, and knee during one complete stroke cycle. The investigator recognizes that this generalization presents the possibility for a bias in the data and that further study would warrant the utilization of the different phases of the stroke for determination of body angles. The results of the study demonstrated that a significant difference did exist between the disabled and able-bodied hip angle during free swimming. Within the disabled group, no significant differences were evident when comparing the body angles during free swimming to the same angles while swimming with each of the flotation devices. Correlations between heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion for all subjects (n=12) were significant in each of the four trial conditions.

Abstract:
Following a spinal cord injury (SCI), participation in regular exercise can enhance physical capacity and performance in activities of daily living. With this in mind, the use of subjective ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) may provide an easy-to-administer alternative to traditional methods of regulating exercise intensity (e.g. heart rate and power output (PO)). A physically active lifestyle is also associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, in part because exercise exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Examining the plasma response of inflammation-mediating chemical messengers, known as cytokines, to traditional and novel exercise modalities may help maximise the anti-inflammatory potential of regular exercise. Participants with a cervical level SCI successfully self-regulated a 20 min bout of moderate intensity wheelchair propulsion (Chapter three). No differences in physiological or PO responses were observed during the imposed-intensity and self-regulated wheelchair propulsion in the trained population group. In a non-SCI group of novice wheelchair-users, a differentiated RPE specific to the exercising muscle mass (RPEP) was the dominant perceptual signal during submaximal wheelchair propulsion (Chapter four). The novice group successfully self-regulated a 12 min bout of moderate intensity wheelchair propulsion, comprising of a discontinuous 3 x 4 min protocol, using differentiated RPEP. In contrast, a more accurate self-regulation of light intensity wheelchair propulsion was observed when employing traditional overall RPE compared to RPEP. Following strenuous wheelchair propulsion, plasma concentrations of the inflammation-mediating cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) were significantly elevated in non-SCI and thoracic level SCI participants (Chapter five). Impaired sympathetic nervous system (SNS) function was associated with a reduced IL-6 response in participants with a cervical level SCI. The plasma IL-6 response to 30 min moderate intensity (60% VO2peak) arm-crank ergometry (ACE) was associated with an elevation in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) independent of SNS activation (Chapter six). Light intensity ACE resulted in a small, significant plasma IL-6 response but no IL-1ra response. The addition of functional electrical stimulation-evoked lower-limb cycling to concurrent hand cycling, termed hybrid exercise, resulted in a greater plasma IL-6 response compared to moderate intensity hand cycling alone in participants with a thoracic level SCI (Chapter seven).

Abstract:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a well-orchestrated inflammatory response which causes secondary tissue damage. Activated macrophages contribute to this cytotoxic response, which includes damage to neurons, glia and myelin, and tissue loss that worsens functional outcomes after SCI. However, activated macrophages in the spinal cord under other conditions are not cytotoxic, such as after intraspinal injection of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a potent demyelinating agent. Recovery from SCI may be optimized by reducing the detrimental effects of macrophages while promoting their beneficial ones. Therefore, I compared spinal cord tissue, as well as purified macrophages, from mice after SCI (cytotoxic response) and intraspinal LPC injection (non-cytotoxic response). As a first step to carry out this work, I characterized the injury parameters for SCI contusion injury (i.e. injury force and spinal cord displacement) in mice using the Infinite Horizons impactor (Chapter 2). This lesioning model was used in other work for the thesis. The role T cells may play in mediating macrophage activation after LPC microinjection and SCI was also assessed using Nude mice (Chapter 3). Next, Affymetrix GeneChip analysis was carried out on spinal cord tissue obtained at the peak of the macrophage response after SCI and intraspinal LPC injection to identify potential candidate genes that may control the divergent inflammatory responses (Chapter 4). Several potential genes were identified. I next characterized the expression and role of one of these genes, MAPK activated protein kinase 2 (MK2), and showed that it mediates secondary tissue damage after SCI via several mechanisms (Chapter 5). The differences in gene expression profiles of macrophages purified from the spinal cord after SCI and LPC-injection were also assessed (Chapter 6). This microarray analysis of macrophages led to the identification of 10 novel candidate genes, two of which were validated at the protein level. Finally, I also examined the expression and role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) in SCI (Chapter 7). Using a combination of knockout/overexpressing transgenic mice and recombinant SLPI, I found that SLPI mediates protective anti-inflammatory effects after SCI. In conclusion, work done for this thesis has led to the identification of several novel molecules that influence the inflammatory response after injury and thus have led to the identification of potentially novel targets for the development of pharmacological approaches to treat acute SCI.

Abstract:
Physical Activity (PA) is widely accepted as a deterrent against all cause disease and is especially important for people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). People with SCI mobilise by using a wheelchair, walking or a combination of both. Current methods of objectively measuring wheelchair P A are positioned on the wrists or on the rear wheel of the wheelchair and rely on detecting bilateral repetitive wrist movements or are not capable of detecting all wheelchair movement. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate both walking and wheelchair Pain the spinal cord injured population in both the rehabilitation setting and capturing the key transition period of discharge into the community: A secondary aim was to explore the associations between objectively measured P A and clinically used outcomes in the spinal cord injured population. In order to achieve these aims a wheelchair monitoring system that was capable of accurately measuring wheel revolutions and distinguishing the direction of movement was required. A wheelchair monitoring system, consisting of a tri-axial accelerometer positioned on the rear wheel of a wheelchair and an analysis. algorithm as developed and validated. Wheelchair and walking PA levels of participants with acute SCI were measured in the rehabilitation setting and at six weeks and six months post discharge in a cross-sectional and longitudinal study and associations with clinically used outcome measures were assessed. The wheelchair monitoring system was a valid measurement tool capable of accurately measuring wheelchair P A. P A levels of people with SCI were found to vary greatly between participants. There was no statistically significant difference between PA accrued in the rehabilitation and community settings although there was a trend for PA to increase in the community. Associations were also found between wheelchair P A and age and outcome measures such as muscle strength, sensation, functional ability and physical performance. The studies within this thesis are the first to quantify and detail the wheelchair, walking and the combination of walking and wheelchair use of participants with a SCI in the rehabilitation and community settings, and to assess the associations between P A and clinically used outcome measures in the spinal cord injured population.

Abstract:
Experimental data of wheelchair-users with varying levels of spinal-cord injury undergoing impact disturbances while seated in a wheelchair, was used to develop one degree-of-freedom rotational-link models of the wheelchair-users. A procedure based on the Maximum Likelihood estimation method was used to identify the parameters of the proposed models such as stiffness and damping coefficients. A good agreement between experimental and identified models responses was achieved. The proposed approach can be used to categorize the difference in response to vibration of patients with different levels of spinal-cord injury (SCI) and will eventually lead to the development of patient specific design criteria for wheelchair suspension.

Full text
Abstract:
Extended manual wheelchair use has been associated with repetitive strain injuries in the shoulder and has been identified as a contributing factor to upper limb pain experienced by manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) [1]. Due to the nature of their SCI, individuals with tetraplegia (formerly quadriplegia) may be at an even greater risk for developing shoulder injuries because they often have only partial innervation of their shoulder, scapular, and thoracohumeral muscles [2].

Abstract:
The use of video games during exercise, exergaming, has been shown to increase energy expenditure without increasing perceived exertion [1]. This suggests that exergaming may be an effective way to engage a patient during rehabilitation and increase adherence to a rehabilitation regime. Existing exergame systems are designed with able bodied users in mind and often combine hand controlled game play while using lower limbs for aerobic exertion, making current systems inaccessible to individuals with spinal cord injuries and others without lower limb function. Our earlier work on increasing exercise accessibility includes developing an ergometer for supine use for patients who have recently had a flap procedure [2]. The goal of the present project was to create an engaging, interactive video game designed for use during arm ergometry by individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in either the supine or seated position.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of lower extremity exoskeletons in improving gait function in patients with spinal cord injury, compared with placebo or other treatments. Condition being studied: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a severely disabling disease. In the process of SCI rehabilitation treatment, improving patients' walking ability, improving their self-care ability, and enhancing patients' self-esteem is an important aspect of their return to society, which can also reduce the cost of patients, so the rehabilitation of lower limbs is very important. The lower extremity exoskeleton robot is a bionic robot designed according to the principles of robotics, mechanism, bionics, control theory, communication technology, and information processing technology, which can be worn on the lower extremity of the human body and complete specific tasks under the user's control. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the lower extremity exoskeleton on the improvement of gait function in patients with spinal cord injury.
