| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Enhancement of autonomic nerve activity and cardiorespiratory responses for oxygen delivery to muscles occur with energy metabolism during walking. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there are functions of autonomic nerve activity and cardiorespiratory responses inherent in the spinal cord for walking. In order to elucidate this possibility, we determined responses of vital capacity and oxygenation level of inactive arm muscles during passive walking leg movement in individuals with spinal cord injury at the cervical level based on the assumptions that ventilatory capacity of the lungs increases and that oxygen supply to arm muscles decreases in order to increase distribution of oxygen supply to the legs during passive walking leg movement. However, there was no increase in vital capacity or decrease in oxygenation level of the arm during passive walking leg movement.
