The researchers believe that the therapy may eventually prove even more effective in human patients.
"Physical therapy may accelerate integration of the grafted stem cells and enhance their therapeutic benefit," said co-author Karl Johe, a researcher at Neuralstem, the company that manufactures the hSSCs used in the study.
The researchers say that their main goal is to provide a significant gain in functional mobility of the patient’s legs.
"These research findings could offer great hope to people with spinal ischemic injury who suffer from resulting spasticity and rigidity," said Marsala.
