- Abstract
The article addresses the feasibility of using electromyographic telemetry in the development of humane primate model of spinal cord injury. Normal movements of the tail of the Macaca fascicularis were quantified. An acute lesion impairing tail movements was created using the neurophysiologically guided epidural catheter. The model, once established, will allow a variety of different therapeutic interventions for humane, non-human primate model of human spinal cord injury.
