Functional Recovery Following Long-Term Activity-Based
Restorative Therapy in a Patient with Chronic Cervical
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury"  Download the Poster  Background
and Purpose:  Rehabilitation following spinal cord injury (SCI)
has previously focused on compensatory strategies for loss of
function below the level of injury due to the fact that
significant functional recovery was not expected. More recently,
new techniques for rehabilitation after SCI have emerged,
including activity-based restorative (ABR) therapies. The
purpose of this case report is to describe the neurological and
functional recovery which occurred in a patient with chronic
cervical incomplete spinal cord injury following a long-term
bout of activity-based restorative therapy.  Case Description:
This case report describes a 48 year-old female who sustained a
traumatic SCI in 2004 due to a fall off of a horse, who
underwent intensive ABR therapies on a clinical and
