Does upper limb effort increase maximal voluntary muscle activation in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury?
Upper limb effort did not increase lower limb muscle activation during active lower limb effort in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury during recumbent stepping. This suggests that individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury cannot recruit additional lower limb motor units using maximal volitional effort of their upper limbs.
The present Japanese population-based prospective cohort study showed that AF is a major risk factor for stroke, especially in women.
