/sent on behalf of The Spinal Cord Research Centre Virtual Memorial for Dr. Larry Michael Jordan Saturday, December 18 at 3pm CST Dr. Larry M. Jordan March 18, 1944 - December 5, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on December 5, 2021 of our long-time colleague and friend Dr. Larry M. Jordan (PhD, 1971 Texas, USA). Larry had a long and illustrious career in the Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology since 1972. He became a full-Professor in 1985 and served as the Physiology and Pathophysiology Department Head from 1992-2001. Larry was a pioneer in neurophysiology with an international reputation of accomplishments. He established systems physiology and neuroscience at the University of Manitoba and can be credited with developing a focus on locomotion and spinal cord injury research here in Manitoba, culminating in the creation of the Spinal Cord Research Centre (SCRC) (co-Director 1987-1995 and Director 1996-2003), which has evolved and continues his legacy to this day. We at the SCRC will all miss Larry and his energy, wit, and wisdom. Dr. Jordan's memorial service will be held via a webinar on Saturday, December 18 at 3pm CST.

Dec 10, 2021: Spinal Cord Research Centre Virtual Lecture, Dr. Dorothy Barthelemy

/sent on behalf of Dr. Katinka Stecina SCRC JOURNAL CLUB GUEST SPEAKER Friday, December 10, 2021 12:00 PM 1:00 PM Join Zoom Meeting https://umanitoba.zoom.us/j/66502273027?pwd=bUxrMTJJR1Nrb3JOdlE0ck5YbHdSdz09 TITLE: Challenges in balance control following spinal cord injury Dorothy Barthélemy, PhD, MSc, pht Professeure Agrégée/Associate Professor École de réadaptation, Université de Montréal RESEARCH PROFILE: A major research theme in my laboratory is to understand the mechanisms underlying locomotor recovery in individuals with spinal cord injury, based on their specific lesion. Although the most recognized feature and hallmark of gait is the rhythmic left-right flexion and extension movements, balance control is essential to achieve functional locomotion, but remains poorly understood. In this presentation I will discuss deficits in neural mechanisms that are reflective of poor balance control in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury and novel therapeutic approaches that could normalize these mechanisms. All are welcome to attend!
