Cough following low thoracic hemisection in the cat
چکیده انگلیسی
A function of the abdominal expiratory muscles is the generation of cough, a critical respiratory defense mechanism that is often disrupted following spinal cord injury. We assessed the effects of a lateral T9/10 hemisection on cough production at 4, 13 and 21 weeks post-injury in cats receiving extensive locomotor training. The magnitudes of esophageal pressure as well as of bilateral rectus abdominis electromyogram activity during cough were not significantly different from pre-injury values at all time points evaluated. The results show that despite considerable interruption of the descending pre-motor drive from the brainstem to the expiratory motoneuron pools, the cough motor system shows a significant function by 4 weeks following incomplete thoracic injury.
