We have recently had a couple of spinal cord injured clients with a "mixed" paraplegia. I'll explain what this means in a second. Let me explain a bit about one case in particular. He has supposedly a T11/12 complete lesion[…]
Spinal cord injured individuals with conus–cauda lesions, and as a consequence denervation of their lower extremities, suffer from severe atrophy of their lower limb muscles. After some years, much of the muscle tissue is replaced by fat and connective tissue and secondary problems such as decubitus ulcers, dysfunction of wound healing and osteoporosis can occur. Such denervated muscles experience progressive changes that gradually transform them into tissue incapable of excitation by normal FES (functional electrical stimulation) protocols. This unfortunately prevents some activities such as FES cycling or standing that can assist overall fitness and well being.

demonstrated can permanently improve arm movement in stroke patients
who
have lost upper extremity function - even years after their stroke
event.
