To determine the effect of upper limb effort on maximal lower limb muscle activation in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. ⋯ Understanding how upper limb effort and movement influences lower limb muscle activation patterns in incomplete spinal cord injury patients has implications for prescribing therapies for lower limb rehabilitation.

Extramedian spread of sensory symptoms is frequent in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) but its mechanisms are unclear. We explored the possible role of subtle ulnar nerve abnormalities in the pathogenesis of extramedian symptoms. ⋯ Our data favour the hypothesis that spinal and supraspinal neuroplastic changes may underlie extramedian spread of symptoms in CTS.

To use the R2 component of nociceptive-specific blink reflex (nBR) to probe the trigeminal nociceptive system and compare chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) patients and healthy controls. ⋯ These findings add further information to central nociceptive pathways in CTTH patients.
