Van den Brand et al. (Reports, 1 June 2012, p. 1182) claim to have restored voluntary control of locomotion after paralyzing spinal cord injury. They have not considered recent findings that their upright posture paradigm contributes to locomotor capability after such injuries. We propose that postural adjustments that activate the locomotor central pattern generator in the upright posture, rather than direct voluntary control of locomotion, account for their results.
范登布兰德等人（2012 年 6 月 1 日，第 1182 页）声称，他们已经在脊髓损伤后恢复了对运动的自主控制。然而，他们没有考虑到最近的研究发现，他们的直立姿势范式有助于此类损伤后的运动能力。我们提出，在直立姿势中激活运动中枢模式发生器的姿势调整，而不是直接的运动自主控制，解释了他们的结果。
