Abstract
Disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS) leave patients with life‐altering disabilities. Injuries that occur in the brain and spinal cord are difficult to treat due to the lack of neuroregeneration in the CNS. Research demonstrates that regenerative medicine and physical therapy techniques can provide structural and functional improvements; however, there is limited research evaluating the combined approach. Regenerative medicine can mitigate the anatomical and physiological destruction caused by a CNS injury; while, physical therapy techniques can help the body restore normal function. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy using regenerative medicine and physical therapy and its impact on therapeutic outcomes for patients with CNS disorders. Using PUBMed, Google Scholar, and other databases, a systematic review was conducted and ranked using the Oxford Levels of Evidence. Based on the gathered evidence, we surmised that combination of regenerative medicine and physical therapy approaches could facilitate treatment of CNS injuries and lesions.This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
