Research lines Spinal Cord Injury Unit Our research focuses on the study of pathophysiological mechanisms and the optimization of therapeutic strategies aimed at improving neurological and functional recovery, as well as the quality of life of individuals with traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injury. We conduct translational research integrating clinical, technological, and biomedical research, with a particular emphasis on transferring results into clinical practice.The main lines of research include the development and validation of advanced neurorehabilitation programs based on emerging technologies, such as robotic gait-assistance systems, exoskeletons, functional stimulation, and intensive rehabilitation platforms designed to promote neuronal plasticity and motor recovery. In parallel, we investigate clinical and neurophysiological biomarkers with prognostic value for functional stratification and longitudinal patient monitoring.Additionally, we study the prevention, pathophysiology, and therapeutic management of secondary complications associated with spinal cord injury, including central neuropathic pain, neurourological dysfunction, sensory disturbances, and pressure ulcers, through multidisciplinary strategies aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality and optimizing long-term functional outcomes.
