Stretching is a widely accepted standard-of-care therapy following spinal cord injury (SCI) that has not been systematically studied in animal models. Objective. To investigate the influence of a daily stretch-based physical therapy program on locomotor recovery in adult rats with moderate T9 contusive SCI. Methods. A randomized treatment and control study of stretching in an animal model of acute SCI. Moderate SCIs were delivered with the NYU Impactor. Daily stretching (30 min\/day, 5 days\/wk for 8 weeks) was provided by a team of animal handlers. Hindlimb function was assessed using the BBB Open Field Locomotor Scale and kinematically. Passive range-of-motion for each joint was determined weekly using a goniometer. Results. Declines in hindlimb function during overground stepping were observed for the first 4 weeks for stretched animals. BBB scores improved weeks 5 to 10 but remained below the control group. Stretched animals had significant deficits in knee passive range of motion starting at week 4 and for the duration of the study. Kinematic assessment showed decreased joint excursion during stepping that partially recovered beginning at week 5. Conclusion. Stretch-based therapy significantly impaired functional recovery in adult rats with a moderate contusive SCI at T10. The negative impact on function was greatest acutely but persisted even after the stretching ceased at 8 weeks postinjury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968314543500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,8]],"date-time":"2014-08-08T22:47:18Z","timestamp":1407538038000},"page":"268-277","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Hindlimb Stretching Alters Locomotor Function After Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Krista L.","family":"Caudle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Darryn A.","family":"Atkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward H.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katie","family":"Donaldson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erik","family":"Seibt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Chea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karianne","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Shum-Siu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Courtney C.","family":"Cron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Louisville, Louisville KY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David S.
