Summary

To determine the efficacy of a novel combinatorial treatment involving early surgical intervention and long-term weight-bearing walking training in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients clinically diagnosed as complete or American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale Class A (AIS-A).

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Surgical intervention combined with weight-supported ambulation training

Surgeries were performed between 12 hours to 30 days after trauma. Internal fixation was implemented once instability of the injured spinal column was confirmed by radiology and exploration during operation. At 15 days after surgery, the patients were encouraged to start weight-supported ambulation training under careful protection by the trainers, the patients were encouraged to start weight-supported ambulation training under careful protection by the trainers. The training program was named "Kunming Locomotor Training Program (KLTP)"formulated by actively walking for a duration of 6 hours per day, 6 days per week for a minimum of 6 months.
