Sagittal spinal alignment in paraplegics: a new paradigm for the rehabilitation under neuromuscular electrical stimulation
Spinal Cord, 10/13/09

De Medeiros RC et al. – The adaptive posture of the spine in paraplegics standing through the stimulation of the femoral quadriceps does not allow for a neutral sagittal alignment. This novel radiographic detailed description of the various segments of the spine can be of assistance toward the understanding of the global postural control for such subjects.

Exclusive Author Commentary
Dr R Castro de Medeiros, 10/14/09
