I am a first time user on this site. So please take this report with that in mind. I wish I had noticed this site earlier, then perhaps i wouldnt have been in this mess.
Buyers Beware! Rooms to Go furniture can be a complete ripoff! Back in april of 2012 i purchased nearly $8000 in furniture to furnish a newly purchased home. I decided on a new bedroom set/ matress, a kitchen table with 4 chairs for it, and a family room set.I will start off by saying the bedroom set has been great, everything has been solid and i have had 0 Issues with it since the day i got it. Problems with everything else howevor, began just days after my purchase.
The first issue was in the kitchen. I ordered a round table with 4 chairs. I have come to find out, that these chairs are very very cheaply designed. Being a first time buyer, i had no idea how to look for well built chairs. All 4 chairs have had issues now, 2 of them have completely detached from the seats and have been "serviced" several times. I put the "Serviced" in quotes to signify something that rooms to go calls service and something i dont agree with. They have come out 3 times i believe in the first year each time, they would put a screw in to the chair, to hold it together but not even enough of a repair to say it was safe to sit in it. Each time they would say were gonna send someone else out for this reason or that reason, and each time no one would come. Then the cycle would begin again with me calling in to schedule another visit. I have now have 2 chairs the safe to sit in and 2 that are waiting for there first kill.
In the family room, my set consists of a loveseat with recliners on both ends, a sofa with recliners on both ends, and a single recliner. The single recliner has been great, i have had 0 issues in it, which is odd because i am a single home owner and it gets by far the most use. On the love seat, both sides of it have had work done several times and now the sofa sits completely uneven and one of the sides, is virtually unusable because some piece of wood is broken inside making it uncomfortable. On the sofa, one of the sides will not shut. which looks terrible. On these 2, we have had several visits as well, sometimes bundled with the other chairs, each time a pice was missing and needed to be ordered, or this reason or that reason, sometiems they were fixed for a week or a month just to return to a broken state.
That brings me to today, Today now it has been almost 2 years since i purchased the furniture, i am still actually paying for it on the no interest account i was given. I understand the one year warantee on my furniture as well. What i dont understand, is how i was jerked around for 2 years by rooms to go, so they could do anything in there power to get me outiside of that warantee so it wasnt there problem. They very clearly sold me either cheap furniture or defective furniture. Because they claim it wasnt defective, they refused to replace it and instead kept putting bandaids on it.
From my story, and the storys of others, i have come to the conclusion that rooms to go will never replace your furniture, no matter what kind of shape it is in under 1 year. Do not assume that you are making an investment and buying furniture that will last you several years in your house. Mine lasted less then 2. Do not purchase an extended warrantee, all that will do is leave you our a couple bucks, and your furniture will have more bandaids on it.
I am writing this report, to warn those that would buy furniture from rooms to go. That most likely, you are buying garbage. Unless you are a doctor of woodworking, or a master is leatherworking, i imagine it will be hard to determine the quality of the furniture youare buying. In my case, i made the mistake of assuming i was buying quality furniture. I hope i at least help someone to not make the mistake i did.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Clayton says it's '50-50' if Todd Bowles will be back in Arizona next season
Todd Bowles may be a head coach next season, but he may also still be the Arizona Cardinals' defensive coordinator.
It's been a couple weeks since his team's season ended, and Bowles has interviewed with the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, the latter of which he's reportedly a finalist for.
Neither team has filled its vacancy yet, and as a guest of Doug and Wolf's Friday, ESPN NFL insider John Clayton said it's "50-50" whether Bowles will be back in Arizona.
"It's also a situation where he's now in for two or three jobs, but he may not like them," Clayton said. "I don't know what he feels about Cleveland, I don't know what he feels about Minnesota and I think he's going to get interviewed in Tennessee."
Bowles has been an oft-mentioned name this offseason after he guided the Cardinals' defense to number six overall ranking, including number one against the run. He does have some previous head coaching experience, having led the Miami Dolphins to a 2-1 record during an interim stint in 2011.
"Is he qualified for a head coaching job," Clayton asked. "Absolutely, but he may be selective about this. If you get a head coaching job, you want to make sure it's the right one."
Clayton added that Bowles is in a good spot either way, because if he does not get a head coaching job this offseason, he may very well land one a year from now.
"I still say it's 50-50," he said, noting that both the Titans and Vikings may prefer other coaches, anyway. "Cleveland is just hard to figure out. If offered the Cleveland job, I don't know if he necessarily would take it."

Lil Jon - I Do ft. Snoop Dogg & Swizz Beatz
Artist: Lil Jon
Featuring: Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz
Producer: Swizz Beatz
Album: Crunk Rock
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 48 votes )
In late January, we brought readers Killas, an Ice Cube and Game collabo that marked Lil' Jon's return to the Booth after more than a year. Now, the King of Crunk is officially reclaiming his throne with a new single, an incomplete version of which previously leaked to the net (in fact, Willy Northpole used that leak as the backdrop for his Booth-exclusive The Coldest freestyle). This time around, Jon cedes his usual all-around role to another hypeman/producer—when Swizz Beatz asks whether anybody's representing anymore, Jon's quick to respond, "I Do!" Thanks in large part to Swizzy's beat, I Do is sure to get listeners hyped up at clubs from ATL to NYC to fellow collaborator Snoop Dogg's hometown of Long Beach, CA and beyond. For the return of pure, non-watered-down crunk in all its glory, look no further than Lil' Jon's long-awaited Crunk Rock, which will finally hit record stores and online retailers this summer.

"The results from the treatments have been phenomenal.
The racing, obsessive thoughts have ceased along with the painful GI distress that I endured.
I am calmer, sleeping better, have lost the bloating and weight gain. The discomfort that I felt, when I ate, is gone too."
- Thanks, JA
"After many unsuccessful months with prescription medicines, I came to Moira to treat my severe daily migraines. After about twelve sessions, my migranes were gone entirely! Providing excellent care in a comfortable environment, Moira focuses on treating the problem itself, not merely the symptom."

"Acupuncture has greatly reduced my asthma and allergy symptoms. Since I've been seeing Moira, I rarely need my inhaler and I have a lot more energy."
- S.J. Hahn, Environmental Attorney
"Moira's done wonders in alleviating my pain. My wrist injury had never fully healed, and was painful and weak many months later. In just two treatments the pain was substantially eliminated. I now feel no pain whatsoever due to this injury."
- M. F. Meissner, Jr., Stock Analyst
"I didn't think there was anything that could help my symptoms from Lupus. After seeing Moira, I feel like a new woman and I'm back at work."
- B. Lewis, RN
"Moira McCarthy's method of acupuncture has helped keep the carpal tunnel syndrome in my left wrist at bay for many years now. I would not be able to continue in my massage therapy practice without the benefits of acupuncture. I have referred numerous clients to Moira over the years and her treatments have helped them immensly. "
- Craig E. Matthews, RMT
"My choice was back surgery until I went to Moira and did acupuncture.
Two years later I am doing great. None of my physicians could tell me why
I recently started with a severe problem of edema. Moira's treatment has given
me more relief than any of the physicians. Acupuncture is an amazing alternative."
- Linda Calvisi, Austin

It's Allergy Season-Acupuncture Can Help
November 21, 2014 Leave a Comment
Why do some people suffer from allergies and others seem to be completely unaffected?
The most common misconception about allergies is that they are just caused by outside elements like pollen, dust or mold. The reality is that allergies are actually a sign of a malfunctioning immune system. In this case, allergens cause the body to release inflammatory chemicals such as histamine. This can cause itchy watery swollen eyes, sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and in some cases even hives and rashes.
So then, what is typical course of treatment?
Western medicine relies on two courses of treatment for allergies — avoidance (which is almost impossible) and desensitization by injections or medications. Many doctors will suggest the use of air filters, which can remove the airborne allergens, but it does nothing to the allergens on surfaces in your home or on your body. You can try to eliminate your exposure to allergens, but unless you live in a bubble, this is impractical. The second phase of treatment — desensitization — involves injecting small amounts of the allergen in gradually increasing doses in order to neutralize the number of antibodies present over time. There are some newly-approved prescription medications that are derived from certain allergens in order to alter the immune system and change one's sensitivity. As with any prescription medication, there can be undesired effects.
What about over-the-counter medicine?
Antihistamines can also be used to combat allergies, but side effects such as drowsiness, increased heart rates, immune system suppression, or over-reliance on medications often result.
What makes the Eastern approach different?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Traditionally, the goal of all TCM is to promote the healthy flow of qi (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy that travels through the meridians of our bodies. Modern practitioners use metaphorical terms such as "wind invasion" or weakened "wei" or defensive qi to describe and to diagnose allergies. The treatments are designed to treat both the root of the disease as well as the symptoms. Acupuncture can treat allergies by controlling the body's inflammatory reactions to allergens. Herbs can also help with reduce the inflammatory reaction as well as desensitize the body to allergens. For example, the herb Astragalus, or Huang Qi as it is known in TCM, can help modulate immunities. Even simple herbal teas that contain dried chrysanthemum flowers and cassia seeds can help lower histamine production. Many practitioners also recommend a flavonoid compound called quercetin to reduce histamine production.
So then, what is a typical treatment plan?
Ideally, treatments with a TCM practitioner begin about four to six weeks before the start of the allergy season. This allows time to build immunities to allergens. Of course, if your allergy season has already begun or if you are allergies all year round, then starting treatment immediately can still provide great relief. And if you are currently taking allergy medications, then acupuncture and herbs can help wean you from them.
So suffer through sneezes no more — with an Eastern approach to a common Western problem.

Is the Linux desktop becoming extinct?
After a decade of looking for the "year of the Linux desktop", many Linux columnists have given up. Some say it isn't coming, while others claim that Linux has simply failed on the desktop.
If we responded to everyone who has ever criticised the Linux desktop, we wouldn't get any work done. But Miguel de Icaza isn't just anybody. He's well respected in the open source community as the founding developer of one of the two main Linux desktop environments, the Gnome desktop. To our utter amazement, even he now thinks the Linux desktop is dead!
The history of Linux: how time has shaped the penguin
In a recent post on his personal blog, Icaza shares his reasons why Linux couldn't pitch itself as a viable consumer desktop operating system. His comments are a follow-up to a Wired article that claimed that Apple OS X has far outpaced the Linux desktop. In the post, titled "What killed the Linux desktop?" Icaza, from his experience with Gnome, collates the various reasons for the Linux desktop's dire predicament.

Noam Chomsky on the Economy, U.S. Midterm Elections, Climate Change, Haiti, and More
Noam Chomsky is a Professor Emeritus at MIT, where he taught for over half a century. He is author of dozens of books. His most recent is Hopes and Prospects_.
Watch Part I of this conversationprofound
AMY GOODMAN:Noam, you're continuing your prescription, your advice that you would give to President Obama today.
NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, the economy is a disaster. There is 10 percent official unemployment, probably twice that much actual unemployment. Many people unemployed for years. This is a huge human tragedy, but it's also an economic tragedy. These are unused resources, which could be producing to make the things that this country needs. I mean, the United States is becoming a kind of a third world country.
You take a — the other day, I took a train from Boston to New York. That's, you know, the star of the trains of Amtrak, train system. I mean, it took about maybe 20 minutes less than the train that my wife and I took 60 years ago from Boston to New York. In any European country, any industrial country, it would have taken half the time. Plenty of non-industrial countries. Spain is not a super-rich country. It's just introducing a 200-mile-an-hour new railway. And this is just one example.
The United States desperately needs many things: decent infrastructure, a decent educational system, much more pay and support for teachers, all kinds of things. And the policies that are being carried out are designed to enrich primarily financial institutions. And remember that many of the major corporations like, say, GE and GM are also financial institutions. It's a large part of their activity. It's very unclear that these financial shenanigans do anything for the economy. There are some economists finally, mainstream ones, finally beginning to raise this question. They may harm it, in fact. But what they do is enrich rich people, and that's where policies are directed to.
An alternative would be to stimulate the economy. There is no — demand is very low. Business — the corporations have money coming out of their ears, their huge profits. But they don't want to spend it, don't want to invest it. They'd rather profit from it. Financial institutions don't produce anything. They just shift money around and make money from various deals. The public is some consumer demand, but it's very slight. We have to remember that there was an $8 trillion housing bubble that burst, destroying the assets for most people. They're desperately trying to keep a little to save themselves. The only source of demand right now would be government spending. It doesn't even have to affect the deficit, can be carried out by borrowing by the Fed, which sends interest right back to the Treasury. If anyone cares about the deficit, which is actually a minor issue, I think, that should be the major issue.
There should be massive infrastructure spending. There should be spending on things — simple things like weatherization. I mean, we should have a substantial program to reduce the very severe threat of global warming. That's unfortunately unlikely with the new Republican legislators and with the effects of the massive corporate propaganda to try to convince people that it's a liberal hoax. The latest polls show about maybe a third of Americans think that —- believe in anthropogenic global warming, you know, human contribution to global warming. I mean, that's almost a death knell for the species. If the U.S. doesn't do anything, nobody else will. We now have chairs going into the -—
AMY GOODMAN: Noam, what do you think of the U.N. climate change summit that's taking place in Cancún?
NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, the Copenhagen summit was a disaster. Nothing happened. This one, Cancún, has set its sights much lower, in the hope of at least achieving something. But let's say they achieve all their goals, which is very unlikely. It'll still be a toothpick on a mountain. There are much more serious problems behind it.
We're now facing a situation where the House, relevant House committees — science, technology, energy and so on — are being taken over by climate change deniers. In fact, one of them recently said, "We don't have to worry about it, because God will take care of it." Well, you know, this is — it's unbelievable that this is happening in the richest, most powerful country in the world. That's one major area where there should be substantial changes and improvements. If not, there's not going to be anything much more to talk about in a generation or two.
Others include just reconstructing the economy here so that people get back to work, that they can produce things that the country needs, that they can live decent lives. All of that can be done. The resources are there; the policies aren't.
AMY GOODMAN: Noam, you know, when you look at the new Congress — I'm reading from The New Yorker, "Darrell Issa, a Republican representative from California, is one of the richest men in Congress. He made his money selling car alarms, which is interesting, because he has twice been accused of auto theft. ([Issa has] said that he had a 'colorful youth.') Now, with the Republicans about to take control of the House, Issa is poised to become [the chairman] of the Oversight Committee. The post comes with wide-ranging subpoena powers, and Issa has already indicated how he plans to wield them. He is not, he assured a group of Pennsylvania Republicans over the summer, interested in digging around for the sort of information that might embarrass his fellow-zillionaires: [he said,] 'I won't use it to have corporate America live in fear.' Instead, he wants to go where he sees the real malfeasance. He wants to investigate climate scientists. At the top of his list are the long-suffering researchers whose e-mails were hacked last year from the computer system of Britain's University of East Anglia. Though their work has been the subject of three separate 'Climategate' inquiries — all of which found that allegations of data manipulation were unfounded — Issa isn't satisfied. [He said recently,] 'We're going to want to have a do-over.'"
NOAM CHOMSKY: Yeah. That's part of the massive offensive, basically a corporate offensive. And they haven't been quiet about it, like the Chamber of Commerce, biggest business lobby, American Petroleum Institute and others have said quite publicly that they're carrying out a massive, what they call "educational campaign" to convince the population that global warming isn't real. And it's having an effect. You can see it even in the way the media present it. So you read, say, a New York Times discussion of climate change. They have to be objective, present both sides, so one side is 98 percent of qualified scientists, and the other side is Issa and Senator Inhofe and a couple of climate change skeptics. There, notice, also missing is a third side, namely, a very substantial number of leading scientists who say that the consensus is nowhere near alarmist enough, that in fact the situation is much worse. Well, you know, the United States is now — it has been dragging its feet on this for a long time, and it's now much worse.
I mean, there was just recently — a couple days ago, there was a report of an analysis of green technology production. It turns out China is in the lead, Germany is next, Spain is high up there. The United States is one of the lowest. In fact, investment from the United States in green technology is higher in China — I think twice as high in China — than in the United States — than it is in the United States and Europe combined. I mean, these are real social pathologies, exacerbated by the latest election, but just one aspect of where policy is going totally in the wrong direction, where there are significant alternatives, and if they're not pursued, there could be real disaster, and maybe not too far off.
AMY GOODMAN: I'd like to switch gears for a minute, Noam Chomsky, and talk about the elections in Haiti that just took place.
NOAM CHOMSKY: "Elections," you should put in quotation marks. If we had elections in the United States in which the Democratic and Republican parties were barred and their political leaders were exiled to South Africa and not allowed to return to the United States, we wouldn't consider them serious elections. But that's exactly what happened in Haiti. The major political party is barred. As we know, the United States and France essentially invaded Haiti in 2004, kidnapped the president, sent him off to Central Africa. His party is now banned. Most analysts assume that, as in the past, if it was allowed to run, it would probably win the election. President — or former President Aristide is, by all information available, the most popular political figure in Haiti. Not only is he not allowed to run, by essentially the U.S., but not allowed to return. They've been trying to keep him out of the hemisphere. Can't go back to Haiti, but the U.S. has been trying to keep him out of the hemisphere altogether. What's taken place is a kind of a charade. I mean, it's not nothing. You know, Haitians are trying to express themselves. We should respect that. But the major choices that they might have are barred by foreign power, U.S. power, and France, which is the second of the two historic torturers of Haiti.
AMY GOODMAN: Honduras. Actually, interestingly, in these cables that have come out through the WikiLeaks release is a U.S. diplomatic cable from 2008 that says exactly what the U.S. government would not say publicly, that the coup against Manuel Zelaya was outright illegal. Your response, Noam Chomsky?
NOAM CHOMSKY: Yeah, that's right. This is an analysis by the embassy in Honduras, Tegucigalpa, saying that they've done a careful analysis of the legal and constitutional backgrounds and conclude — you can read their summary, which is a conclusion — that there is no doubt that the coup was illegal and unconstitutional. The government of Washington, as you point out, wouldn't say that. And in fact, after some dithering, Obama finally essentially recognized the legitimacy of the coup. He supported the election taking place under the coup regime, which most of Latin America and Europe refused to recognize at all. But the U.S. did it. In fact, the U.S. ambassador publicly accused the Latin Americans who wouldn't go along as being seduced by magic realism, you know, García Márquez's novels or something, just a statement of contempt. They should go along with us and support the military coup, which is illegal and unconstitutional. And has many effects. One effect was that it preserves for the United States a major air base, the Palmerola Air Base, one of the last ones remaining in Latin America. We've been kicked out of all the others.
AMY GOODMAN: Noam, I have two questions, and we only have two minutes left. One is about North Korea. The WikiLeaks documents show Chinese diplomats saying that Chinese officials increasingly doubt the usefulness of neighboring North Korea and would support reunification. The significance of this?
NOAM CHOMSKY: I'm very skeptical about that statement. There is no indication that China would be willing to have U.S. troops on its border, and that's the very likely outcome of a reunified Korea. They've been bitterly objecting to U.S. naval maneuvers in the Yellow Sea, not far from their coast, what they call their economic territorial waters, and expanding U.S. military forces near their borders is the last thing they want. They may feel — I don't know — that North Korea simply is unviable, and it will have to collapse, and that's a terrible problem for them from many points of view. That I don't know. But I'm pretty skeptical about that leak.
AMY GOODMAN: Finally, Noam, your latest book, Hopes and Prospects, what gives you hope?
NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, the "hopes" part of that book is mostly about South America, where there really have been significant, dramatic changes in the past decade. For the first time in 500 years, the South American countries have been moving towards integration, which is a prerequisite for independence, and have begun to face some of their really desperate internal problems. A huge disparity between islands of extreme wealth and massive poverty — a number of the countries, including the leading one, Brazil, have chipped away at that.
AMY GOODMAN: We have ten seconds.
NOAM CHOMSKY: And Bolivia has been quite dramatic with the takeover by the indigenous population in a major democratic election. These are important facts.
AMY GOODMAN: Noam Chomsky, thanks so much for being with us. Oh, by the way, happy birthday, pre-birthday.
NOAM CHOMSKY: Thanks.
AMY GOODMAN: Noam Chomsky, Professor Emeritus at MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, author of over a hundred books, his latest called Hopes and Prospects.

Aim and shoot, BUT do not miss, because we are attempting to Shoot Out Hunger! On Saturday November 22nd from 9a-6p, S and D Indoor Range will be hosting the Shoot Out Hunger event! Shooting sessions range from $20 for one person and a 30 minute session or $30 for 2 and a 30 minute session. Also the event will have a silent auction and ALL procedes will go to God's Pantry Food Bank. Food/Refreshments will be offered after your session.
If you or your group of friends are hungry OR you cannot decide where to eat on November 19th after 4p, Logan's Roadhouse is hosting a fundriasing night. Raise the Steaks is a night where you and your group of friends can eat like any other night, but you have the option to donate up to 20% of your pre-tax meal to your favorite Food Bank! So have a blast and catch up with friends but also donate to God's Pantry Food Bank.
There are no warehouse volunteer shifts scheduled for Saturday 11/15 as our Food Bank is closed for the annual Basket Brigade event!
We have been innundated with reuqests to volunteer this time of year and are currently full for all shift through November and December (with the exception fo 12/23 and 12/27), please click here if you'd like to sign up for a shift in the New Year!
Together we can solve hunger.
Now that the election is over, Congress will return to Washington to finish its remaining business. We expect extending several expiring tax provisions to be high on the priority list of both parties. Our goal is to ensure that the food donation tax deduction (HR 4719) is included in the final package that Congress puts together. We need to show Congress that food banks, agencies, and donors support this legislation and articulate the positive impact it will have on your ability to serve your community.
Calling Congress is easy! Here's how:
Paper Shred Reycling Event is coming up this Saturday on November 15th to celebrate America Recycle's Day! This is a FREE paper shred event beginning at 9A and ending at 2P! The event will be held at the old landfill pad on 1631 Old Frankfort Pike. There is a limit of five boxes or bags of material per vehicle and cardboard boxes will be collected at the event as well. Also, you can bring non-perishable food items to the event and they will be donated to God's Pantry Food Bank!

Having just defended a dissertation in the field of neuroscience, this session was my guilty pleasure. I felt right at home hearing about the modulation of intrinsic motor neuron properties. But, the question I've had since graduate school was the focus of this session – how does the lab work in cat/rat/monkey motor neurons translate to human patients?
This session was presented by four brilliant researchers interested in brainstem modulation of the motor system. The patient population discussed was spinal cord injury, a condition in which the connection between the brainstem and the motor neurons are disrupted. Each researcher discussed the implications for force generation, spasticity, and locomotion. I'll summarize their reports below.
Allison Hyngstrom , PT, PhD
First up, Dr. Hyngstrom highlighted a few key researchers that have influenced treatment of patients:
The Dr. Hyngstrom progressed to 'Motor Neurons 101′, including these key points:
Moving to the spinal cord injured cat, researchers have found that by adding monoamines to the spinal cord the cat could walk again [link to article in PubMed]
Next Dr. Hyngstrom described some of her own work on MNs. In her dissertation she was interested in the factors that regulate PICs. One way she did this was by altering the amount of reciprocal inhibition.
In summary
Chris Thompson , PT, DPT
Next up Dr. Thompson presented his talk, titled – "Activation of spinal networks in patients with spinal cord injury to improve volitional movements".
He began with a bold statement – "indiviuals with motor incomplete SCI do not fatigue". How could this be? It seems that in a repeated stimulation protocol, patients with acute SCI do not exhibit a reduction in force generating capacity, whereas patients with chronic SCI and healthy controls do exhibit a reduction in the same protocol.
I also seems that people with incomplete SCI have a reserve of volitional force generation – 115% of maximal force can be achieved across the first 4-5 maximal contractions.
In acute spinal cord injury there is a period of spinal shock and spinal reflex responses are suppressed. But after time (chronic) the responses become super sensitive to seratonin.
Dr. Thompson want to know why and he looks to the motor neuron persistent inward current as a mechanism for the following three reasons:
Dr. Thompson concluded by review attempts at translation of the findings in animal models to humans patients. The idea best examined by his lab group basically involves applying a 'top-hat' stimulation protocol made popular in cat experiments to human patients. Something very interesting happens when comparing humans and cats. The amount of force and the strength of the persistent inward current are larger when muscles are at shorter lengths IN HUMANS. However, the amount of force and the strength of the PIC are larger when muscles are at longer lengths IN CATS. Explaining this difference is the next task on Dr. Thompson's plate.
Arun Jayaraman , PT, PhD
Alright, that was a lot of motor neuron physiology and I appreciate you hanging in there so far. So, how can the above information be put into clinical practice? This is what Arun enthusiastically addressed – developing the rehabilitation protocol.
His main question was how can we harness the reserve in force generating capacity seen in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury?
This was tested in 10 patients with chronic motor incomplete SCI in a cross-over design with a two month washout period between the testing conditions. The phenomenon examined was that the harder you work, the more force enhancement you observe in the SCI population. As the time between maximal contractions gets longer, the enhancement in force production becomes lower (15 s is best). This phenomenon is present both concentric and isokinetic contraction modes.
Subjects trained with 65-80% of their one repetition maximum until they plateaued in function. Arun found that just isometric trained alone enhanced berg balance scores and walking distances in the 6-min and timed up and go tasks. Noxious stimulation at an intensity of 50 mA on the stomach skin was not so effective.
A follow up direction Arun is investigating is the use of intermittent hypoxia. It has been shown in rats that electromyography and force measurement improved in a ladder climbing task following a hypoxic state. How will patients with chronic SCI respond to hypoxic conditions during locomotor training? Arun is hopeful that benefits are realized in his patients.
George Hornby , PT, PhD
The topic addressed by Dr. Hornby at the end of the session was the combination of physical therapy and pharmacological interventions.
It seems that providing glutamate can generate locomotion patterns and we also know that monoamines can excite central pattern generators (CPGs).
There is an increased Babinski Sign in SCI due to effects of monamines.
Seratonin (5HT) is effective in initiating locomotion in rats with SCI.
It seems that humans respond better to 5HT than norepinephrine (NE) when administered.
Lastly, Dr. Hornby has seen that strength, not spasticity, is related to locomotion function.
