The focus of this chapter is to highlight some fundamental concepts on the physiology of movement control after a spinal cord injury (SCI). We will discuss how these concepts are defined by the order of motor unit recruitment within a motor pool and how the relative recruitment across multiple motor pools defines the movements performed. We then will describe how these factors are affected by SCI. Understanding how these particular "neural decisions" might be modified by SCI will provide greater insight in assessing the etiology of the movement dysfunctions and thus in finding potential resolutions in a given individual at a given time post-injury (Fig. 2.1).
