Functional recovery at discharge from rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Functional performance, as well as objective and subjective measures, and psychological factors tests are used in clinically based settings to assess knee function, as well as to determine when patient is ideally suited to return to sport (RTS). Success following ACLR has been defined as a return …

COGNITIVE TRAINING AND FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY IN AN AGED MODEL OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
… environments are correlated with improved functional recovery, few studies have attempted to assess this paradigm in older individuals. The purpose of this project was to examine the usefulness of cognitive training to facilitate functional recovery in aged animals following traumatic brain …

A COMBINATION THERAPY OF NICOTINAMIDE AND PROGESTERONE FOR FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY FOLLOWING TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
… demonstrate beneficial neuroprotection and recovery of function following TBI. The primary goal of this study was to assess both neuroprotection and recovery of function in an animal model of TBI after combination treatment of both NAM and Prog. Animals received a cortical contusion injury …

Functional Recovery After Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty Due to Osteoarthritis: The Role of Postural Stability
… of the role of postural stability in functional recovery among individuals 60 years and older after elective THA for OA, and to inform strategies to reduce fall risk and optimize functional outcomes. Study 1 systematically reviewed the literature to identify outcome measures and the …

Differences in Short-Term Sport-Specific Functional Recovery After Primary ACL Reconstruction in the Adolescent Athlete
The general metadata -- e.g., title, author, abstract, subject headings, etc. -- is publicly available, but access to the submitted files is restricted to UT Southwestern campus access and/or authorized UT Southwestern users.

Human neural stem cells over-expressing Akt1 provide cytoprotection and functional recovery in mouse stroke model
… migrate to the brain and induce behavioral recovery in mouse intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) stroke model. However, many of the grafted hNSCs did not survive the transplantation, which may have reduced therapeutic potential. In this study, we postulated that hNSCs over-expressing Akt1 …

Neuronal Differentiation and Functional Recovery after Transplantation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell in The Ischemic Rat Model
… mesenchymal stem cells showed slightly better functional improvement than control groups and the rats with human mesenchymal stem cells, which was statistically significant. Then, the neural differentiation of cytokine-inducted human mesenchymal stem cells suggested that transplantation of the …

CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE: The importance of neuronal subtype, cell source and connectivity for functional recovery
… PD, with donor cells that have the potential to functionally re-integrate into the host circuitry. This involves transplantation of developing midbrain cells from aborted fetuses, (the part that form mesDA neurons), into the striatum of a PD patient. Clinical trials have demonstrated that CRT can …

Novel Use of Dual Anti-Inflammatory Therapy to Overcome Drug Resistance and Improve Functional Recovery Following Spinal Cord Injury
… no proven effective treatments that can improve recovery of function in SCI patients. Many therapeutic compounds have shown promise in preclinical models of SCI, but all of these have fallen short in clinical trials.</p> <p>P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an active transporter expressed on capillary …

Functional recovery in young adult and aged rats following delayed, intramuscular treatment with neurotrophin-3 after focal stroke injury.
… model of focal ischemic stroke to evaluate functional recovery in adult and aged rats following treatment with neurotrophin-3 (NTS). Endothelin-1 produces a reduction in local blood flow to levels that produce ischemic injury when applied to areas of the brain. Due to the reproducible nature …

An exploration of spinal care injury treatment : opportunities to improve functional recovery and independence for patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries
… determined to be motor strengthening, ambulation recovery, and neurogenic bowel dysfunction. Each high-potential opportunity was assessed based on how well existing, emerging, and future solutions meet SCI patients' needs. It was concluded that a wireless closed-loop neuromuscular electrical …

An injectable gelatin-based conjugate incorporating EGF promotes tissue repair and functional recovery after spinal cord injury in a rat model
… was evaluated for promoting tissue healing and functional recovery using a standardized 2-mm hemi-resection SCI rat model, four weeks after injection. Injection of Gtn-HPA/EGF immediately after the surgical excision injury significantly improved motor functional recovery, compared to gel alone …

Does Participation in a Multi-Modal Activity-Based Program Impacts on Functional Recovery, and Quality of Life in Adults with Spinal Cord Injury?
… the program's impact on an individual's level of functional recovery, and overall quality of life in adults with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). A descriptive, correlational design was performed on a secondary analysis dataset to conduct this study. Inferential statistics were performed with mixed …
