Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Interventions
- Other: Treadmill gait training
- Registration Number
- NCT02074670
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Nove de Julho
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients after Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training (BWSTT) associated with conventional motor rehabilitation. The investigators hypothesized that training with weight bearing associated with conventional motor rehabilitation will be able to reorganize the brain.
