Despite intensive neurorehabilitation, extensive functional recovery after spinal
cord injury is unattainable for most individuals. Optimal recovery will likely
depend on activity-based, task-specific training that personalizes the timing of
intervention with the severity of injury.
Exercise paradigms elicit both
beneficial and deleterious biophysical effects after spinal cord injury.
Modulating the type, intensity, complexity, and timing of training may minimize
risk and induce greater recovery. This review discusses the following: (a) the
biological underpinning of training paradigms that promote motor relearning and
recovery, and (b) how exercise interacts with cellular cascades after spinal cord
injury. Clinical implications are discussed throughout.
