Abstract :
In this paper, we developed Robo-Cylinder Impactor (RCI) as a contusion and compression spinal cord injury device. It has a Power-Cylinder and a motion controller so that it can impact the spinal cord exactly with targeted power and speed. The pathology of the spinal cord lesions could be made arbitrarily with high reproducibility. We can be confirm the data from spinal cord injury experiment using the RCI.
