## Abstract Our first aim was to characterize spontaneous motor unit activity in thenar muscles influenced by chronic cervical spinal cord injury. Thenar surface electromyography (EMG), intramuscular EMG, and abduction and flexion forces were recorded. Subjects were instructed to relax for 2 min. U
Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle were analyzed to determine if increased energy demand of contraction, as indirectly reflected by myofibrillar Ca 2+ adenosine triphosphate activity (qATPase), contributes to greater fatigue in affected muscle of spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. The qATPase
## Abstract Cycling exercise attenuates atrophy in hindlimb muscles and causes changes in spinal cord properties after spinal cord injury in rats. We hypothesized that exercising soleus muscle expresses genes that are potentially beneficial to the injured spinal cord. Rats underwent spinal cord inj
