Muscle Synergies as a Tool to Unveil Specific Features in the Muscle Patterns After Cerebellar Damage
We have recently provided evidence that cerebellar damage affects the spatiotemporal but not the spatial organization of the muscle patterns, suggesting that the cerebellum plays a key role in sha** their sp...

Neoplastic myelopathies and traumatic spinal cord lesions: an Italian comparison of functional and neurological outcomes
Although neoplastic spinal cord injuries (NSCIs) constitute ∼25% of all non-traumatic spinal cord lesions, patients with such pathologies are seldom, if ever, admitted to specialized centers; further, their re...

Validity and reliability of the 10-m walk test and the 6-min walk test in spinal cord injury patients
The 10-m walk test (10MWT) and the 6-min walk test (6MWT) have been recommended for assessment of walking in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. The study was designed on test–retest analysis of the 10MWT and 6...
