Enhancing Walking in People With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: a Pilot Study

NCT00610974 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2014-09-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The research proposed here will determine the effect of a novel treadmill gait training strategy using a robotic gait trainer (the Lokomat) on functional ambulation in people with SCI. The effect of the new therapy will be evaluated by analyzing changes in functional ambulation and gait patterns during walking.

Conditions

  • Motor-incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Body-weight supported treadmill training

BWSTT for 3 times/week for 12 weeks. Each session, subjects will first complete a 10-minute warm-up period followed by 45 minutes of the assigned therapy. Rest breaks will be provided as needed, but subjects must complete 45 minutes of walking per session.
