Abstract
Studies that have compared locomotion in the adult cat hindlimb before and after spinal transection have found that "despite a few differences, the spinal cord and the hind limbs afferents are capable of generating very good locomotor patterns with almost normal kinematics" when the animals are submitted to a daily regimen of treadmill walking. We are trying to enhance motor recovery in the hindlimbs by promoting axonal regeneration through the implantation of fibroblasts genetically modified to produce neurotrophins.
