Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

Sensory impulses related to touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception from various body parts, such as the limbs, trunk, neck, and posterior head, travel to the cerebral cortex through the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The pathway’s name derives from the two white-matter tracts that convey the impulses: the spinal cord's posterior column and the brainstem's medial lemniscus. First-order sensory neurons extend their axons into the spinal cord, forming the posterior columns...

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

Spinal cord injury progresses through two interconnected phases: primary injury and secondary injury.Primary InjuryPrimary injury happens at the moment of trauma and involves immediate mechanical damage to the spinal cord.Compression happens when broken vertebrae, herniated discs, or accumulating blood (such as a hematoma) press directly against the spinal cord, distorting its normal shape and function. In cases of contusion, the cord is bruised by a blunt force (like penetrating injuries or...

Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology

Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology

Early Ischemia and Ionic ImbalanceWithin minutes of spinal cord injury, a secondary cascade begins, progressing over hours to weeks. Vascular damage reduces blood flow, causing ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. ATP depletion leads to ion pump failure, membrane depolarization, sodium influx, potassium efflux, and water accumulation, resulting in cellular swelling. Increased intracellular calcium further disrupts mitochondria and accelerates cellular injury.Excitotoxicity and Neuronal...

Area of Science:

Rehabilitation research
Transportation accessibility
Assistive technology

Background:

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) face significant transportation challenges.
Autonomous shuttles (ASs) present a potential solution for improving mobility.
Understanding user perceptions is crucial for AS adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

To quantify perceptions of autonomous shuttles (ASs) among adults with and without SCI.
To assess changes in perceptions after AS experience.
To identify factors influencing AS adoption for individuals with SCI.

Main Methods:

Mixed-method quasi-experimental design.
Inclusion of 16 adults with SCI and 16 age-matched controls.
Pre- and post-ride perception assessments of AS.

Main Results:

Both groups reported reduced perceived barriers to AS use after riding (p = .025).
No significant differences in perception changes were observed between groups.
Key adoption factors identified: availability, accessibility, and affordability.

Conclusions:

Experiential exposure to AS can decrease perceived barriers for adults with SCI.
AS availability, accessibility, and affordability are critical for acceptance and adoption.
Encouraging trial use of AS is recommended to foster wider adoption among the SCI population.
