简要总结
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate whether gait specific robotic supported bodyweight supported treadmill training and lower extremity strength training have similar beneficial effects on walking function and other outcomes.
详细描述
Although task-specific training has been promoted during the last years to improve function, recent studies showed that after an incomplete spinal cord injury, strength, but not complex movement coordination, is affected. In this randomized cross-over trial we investigate the effectiveness of a task-specific 4 week Lokomat training with a 4 week (unspecific) lower extremity muscle strength training on walking-related and other outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
10 Meter Walking at Preferred Speed
时间窗: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
The 10 meter walk test assesses the time required to walk 10 meters at the patient's preferred speed (in seconds). Results were converted to walking speed \[m/s\]. Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline. Positive values denote improvements.
10 Meter Walking at Maximal Speed
时间窗: Baseline, after intervention (4 weeks)
The 10 meter walking speed assesses the time needed to walk 10 meters at maximal speed (in seconds). Results were converted to walking speed \[m/s\]. Displayed are values after each intervention (RAGT or strength training) minus value at baseline. Positive values denote improvements.
