BEHAVIORAL

Locomotor training

This study compares two forms of Iocomotor training: 1) standard or manual - in which an individual is provided partial body weight support while walking on a treadmill with assistance of 1-3 therapists to move the legs and stabilize the trunk/pelvis and 2) robotic-guided - in which an exoskeleton robot (Lokomat) guides movement of the walking pattern. Partial body-weight support, treadmill walking and treadmill speed are consistent between the study arms.
