    Abstract Introduction: The significance of the spinal cord in controlling postural and locomotor functions largely reemerged in the mid-1970s under the leadership of Sten Grillner, demonstrating key phenomena of 'central pattern generation' and 'fictive locomotion' with an evolutionary perspective. These concepts raised the question of how much function can be recovered after paralysis, given the intrinsic automaticity of spinal networks in injured and uninjured states in adults.
    Areas covered: This review explores biological mechanisms governing spinal control of movements such as posture and locomotion. We focus on concepts that have evolved from experiments performed over the past decade. Rather than a comprehensive review of the vast literature on the neural control of posture and locomotion, we focus on the various mechanisms underlying functional automaticity, and their clinical relevance.
    Expert opinion: We propose that multiple combinations of sensory mechanoreceptors linked to proprioception that generate an infinite number of different sensory ensembles, having species-specific meaning and extensive influence in controlling posture and locomotion. These sensory ensembles are translated as a probabilistic phenomenon into highly specific but indeterminate actions. Therefore, we opine that spinal translation of these ensembles in real-time plays a central role in the automaticity of motor control in individuals with and without severe neuromotor dysfunction.

    Abstract Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) affects up to 4 children in 1,000 live births, making it the most common motor disorder in children. It impairs the child's ability to move voluntarily and maintain balance and posture, and results in a wide range of other functional disorders during early development impairments in various sensory modalities, e.g., vision, hearing ability and proprioception. Current standard of care therapy focuses on symptom management and does not mitigate the progression of many of these underlying neurological impairments. The goal of this trial is to conduct a prospective multicenter, double-blinded, sham-controlled, crossover, randomized control trial to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of noninvasive spinal cord neuromodulation (SCiP™, SpineX Inc.) in conjunction with activity-based neurorehabilitation therapy (ABNT) to improve voluntary sensorimotor function in children with cerebral palsy.
    Methods and analysis: Sixty participants (aged 2-13 years) diagnosed with CP classified as Gross Motor Function Classification Scale Levels I-V will be recruited and divided equally into two groups (G1 and G2). Both groups will receive identical ABNT 2 days/wk. G1 will initially receive sham stimulation, whereas G2 will receive therapeutic SCiP™ therapy for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, G1 will cross over and receive therapeutic SCiP™ therapy for 8 weeks, whereas G2 will continue to receive SCiP™ therapy for another 8 weeks, for a total of 16 weeks. Primary and secondary outcome measures will include Gross Motor Function Measure-88 and Modified Ashworth Scale, respectively. Frequency and severity of adverse events will be established by safety analyses.
    Ethics and dissemination: The trial is registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05720208). The results from this trial will be reported on clinicaltrials.gov, published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific and clinical conferences.

    Abstract Although children with cerebral palsy seem to have the neural networks necessary to generate most movements, they are markedly dysfunctional, largely attributable to abnormal patterns of muscle activation, often characterized as spasticity, largely reflecting a functionally abnormal spinal-supraspinal connectivity. While it is generally assumed that the etiologies of the disruptive functions associated with cerebral palsy can be attributed primarily to supraspinal networks, we propose that the more normal connectivity that persists between peripheral proprioception-cutaneous input to the spinal networks can be used to guide the reorganization of a more normal spinal-supraspinal connectivity. The level of plasticity necessary to achieve the required reorganization within and among different neural networks can be achieved with a combination of spinal neuromodulation and specific activity-dependent mechanisms. By engaging these two concepts, we hypothesize that bidirectional reorganization of proprioception-spinal cord-brain connectivity to higher levels of functionality can be achieved without invasive surgery.

    Abstract The present review focuses on the physiological states of spinal networks, which are stochastically modulated by continuously changing ensembles of proprioceptive and supraspinal input resulting in highly redundant neural networks. Spinal epidural interfaces provide a platform for probing spinal network dynamics and connectivity among multiple motor pool-specific spinal networks post-injury under in vivo experimental conditions. Continuous epidural low-frequency pulses at low intensity can evoke motor responses of stochastically changing amplitudes and with an oscillatory pattern of modulation. The physiological significance of this oscillatory pattern, intrinsic to "resting" spinal networks and observed in both uninjured and injured locomotor circuits, is unclear. This neural variability among spinal networks appears to be a fundamental mechanism of the network's design and not a "noise" interfering with movement control. Data to date also suggest that the greater the level of stimulation above motor threshold, the greater the loss of modulation over the motor output that is physiologically provided by interneuronal networks, which integrate naturally occurring proprioceptive and cutaneous input generated during movement. Sub-motor threshold spinal electrical stimulation experiments demonstrate a range of functional improvements of multiple physiological systems when used in concert with sensorimotor training after spinal cord injury. Although our understanding of the systemic, cellular and molecular modulatory mechanisms that trigger these activity-dependent adaptive processes remain incomplete, some basic physiological principles have evolved, at least at the systemic and neural network levels and to some degree at the cellular level.

    Abstract Motor dysfunction in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) such as the inability to initiate voluntary movements, walking with compensatory movement patterns, and debilitating spasticity is due to the aberrant neural connectivity between the brain and spinal cord. We tested the efficacy of noninvasive spinal cord neuromodulation (SCiP™, SpineX Inc.) with activity-based neurorehabilitation therapy (ABNT) in improving the sensorimotor function in six children with CP. Children received 8 weeks of either SCiP™ or sham therapy with ABNT (n = 3 per group). At the end of 8 weeks, all participants received 8 weeks of SCiP™ therapy with ABNT. Follow up assessments were done at week 26 (10 weeks after the last therapy session). Sensorimotor function was measured by the Gross Motor Function Measure 88 (GMFM88) test. We observed minimal change in sham group (mean 6% improvement), however, eight weeks of SCiP™ therapy with ABNT resulted in statistically and clinically relevant improvement in GMFM88 scores (mean 23% increase from baseline). We also observed reduced scores on the modified Ashworth scale only with SCiP™ therapy (−11% vs. +5.53% with sham). Similar improvements were observed in sham group but only after the cross over to SCiP™ therapy group at the end of the first eight weeks. Finally, sixteen weeks of SCiP™ therapy with ABNT resulted in further improvement of GMFM88 score. The improvement in GMFM88 scores were maintained at week 26 (10 weeks after the end of therapy), suggesting a sustained effect of SCiP™ therapy.
