Abstract

Spinal Cord Injuries primarily affect the central motor system, but research suggests that the peripheral nervous system is also altered and marked by delayed deterioration. Interest is growing, but knowledge about the extent of damage and implications for rehabilitation remains limited. This research presents the pilot findings of neurophysiological assessments of the peripheral nerve of the abductor pollicis brevis. It highlights the potential of our proposed methods to establish the evaluation of peripheral neuroplasticity for spinal cord research.
