    Abstract Objective: Test the effect of a multi-joint control with implanted electrical stimulation on walking after spinal cord injury (SCI).
    Design: Single subject research design with repeated measures.
    Setting: Hospital-based biomechanics laboratory and user assessment of community use.
    Participants: Female with C6 AIS C SCI 30 years post injury.
    Interventions: Lower extremity muscle activation with an implanted pulse generator and gait training.
    Outcome measures: Walking speed, maximum distance, oxygen consumption, upper extremity (UE) forces, kinematics and self-assessment of technology.
    Results: Short distance walking speed at one-year follow up with or without stimulation was not significantly different from baseline. However, average walking speed was significantly faster (0.22 m/s) with stimulation over longer distances than volitional walking (0.12 m/s). In addition, there was a 413% increase in walking distance from 95 m volitionally to 488 m with stimulation while oxygen consumption and maximum upper extremity forces decreased by 22 and 16%, respectively. Stimulation also produced significant (P ≤ 0.001) improvements in peak hip and knee flexion, ankle angle at foot off and at mid-swing.
    Conclusion: An implanted neuroprosthesis enabled a subject with incomplete SCI to walk longer distances with improved hip and knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion resulting in decreased oxygen consumption and UE support. Further research is required to determine the robustness, generalizability and functional implications of implanted neuroprostheses for community ambulation after incomplete SCI.

    Abstract Objective: Explore whether electromyography (EMG) control of electrical stimulation for walking after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can affect ability to modulate speed and alter gait spatial-temporal parameters compared to cyclic repetition of pre-programmed stimulation.
    Design: Single case study with subject acting as own concurrent control. Setting Hospital-based biomechanics laboratory.
    Participants: Single subject with C6 AIS D SCI using an implanted neuroprosthesis for walking. Interventions Lower extremity muscle activation via an implanted system with two different control methods: (1) pre-programmed pattern of stimulation, and (2) EMG-controlled stimulation based on signals from the gastrocnemius and quadriceps.
    Outcome measures: Gait speed, distance, and subjective rating of difficulty during 2-minute walks. Range of walking speeds and associated cadences, stride lengths, stride times, and double support times during quantitative gait analysis.
    Results: EMG control resulted in statistically significant increases in both walking speed and distance (P < 0.001) over cyclic stimulation during 2-minute walks. Maximum walking speed with EMG control (0.48 m/second) was significantly (P < 0.001) faster than the fastest automatic pattern (0.39 m/second), with increased cadence and decreased stride and double support times (P < 0.000) but no change in stride length (z = -0.085; P = 0.932). The slowest walking with EMG control (0.25 m/second) was virtually indistinguishable from the slowest with automatic cycling (z = -0.239; P = 0.811).
    Conclusion: EMG control can increase the ability to modulate comfortable walking speed over pre-programmed cyclic stimulation. While control methods did not differ at the lowest speed, EMG-triggered stimulation allowed significantly faster walking than cyclic stimulation. The expanded range of available walking speeds could permit users to better avoid obstacles and naturally adapt to various environments. Further research is required to definitively determine the robustness, generalizability, and functional implications of these results.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of contralaterally controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation (CCNMES) vs. cyclic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on lower extremity impairment, functional ambulation, and gait characteristics.
    Design: Twenty-six survivors of stroke with chronic (≥6 mos) foot drop during ambulation were randomly assigned to 6 wks of CCNMES or cyclic NMES. Both groups had ten sessions per week of self-administered home application of either CCNMES or cyclic NMES plus two sessions per week of gait training with a physical therapist. Primary outcomes included lower extremity Fugl-Meyer score, modified Emory Functional Ambulation Profile, and gait velocity. Assessments were made at pretreatment and posttreatment and at 1 and 3 mos after treatment.
    Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in the outcome trajectories for any of the measures. With data from both groups pooled, there were significant but modest and sustained improvements in the Fugl-Meyer score and the modified Emory Functional Ambulation Profile but not in gait velocity.
    Conclusions: The results support the hypothesis that gait training combined with either CCNMES or cyclic NMES reduces lower extremity impairment and functional ambulation but do not support the hypothesis that CCNMES is more effective than cyclic NMES in patients with chronic post-stroke hemiplegia.

    Abstract Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate the utility of a translocator protein (TSPO)-targeted near-infrared (NIR) probe (NIR-conPK11195) for in vivo molecular imaging of TSPO in breast cancer.
    Procedures: NIR-conPK11195 uptake and TSPO-specificity were validated in TSPO-expressing human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231). In vivo NIR-conPK11195 biodistribution and accumulation were quantitatively evaluated in athymic nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 xenografts.
    Results: Fluorescence micrographs illustrated intracellular labeling of MDA-MB-231 cells by NIR-conPK11195. Quantitative uptake and competition assays demonstrated dose-dependent (p < 0.001) and TSPO-specific (p < 0.001) NIR-conPK11195 uptake. In vivo, NIR-conPK11195 preferentially labeled MDA-MB-231 tumors with an 11-fold (p < 0.001) and 7-fold (p < 0.001) contrast enhancement over normal tissue and unconjugated NIR dye, respectively.
    Conclusions: NIR-conPK11195 appears to be a promising TSPO-targeted molecular imaging agent for visualization and quantification of breast cancer cells in vivo. This research represents the first study to demonstrate the feasibility of TSPO imaging as an alternative breast cancer imaging approach.

    Abstract This paper describes the performance of a 16-channel implanted neuroprosthesis for standing and transfers after spinal cord injury including four-contact nerve-cuff electrodes stimulating the femoral nerve for knee extension. Responses of the nerve-cuffs were stable and standing times increased by 600% over time-matched values with a similar eight-channel neuroprosthesis utilizing muscle-based electrodes on vastus lateralis for knee extension.
