Abstract: | Background While various body weight supported locomotor training (BWSLT) approaches are reported in the literature for individuals with
spinal cord injury (SCI), none have evaluated outcomes in terms of gait quality. The purpose of this study was to compare
changes in measures of gait quality associated with four different BWSLT approaches in individuals with chronic motor-incomplete
SCI, and to identify how gait parameters differed from those of non-disabled (ND) individuals. |
