Abstract

In this study, patients are recruited to a gait rehabilitation programme based on the use of a computer controlled robot (Lokomat) and any subsequent changes in status during the rehabilitation programme are charted through the application of a comprehensive battery of functional and physiological assessments. The goal of this testing procedure is to identify tests of sensory and motor function that are sensitive to the changes that occur in response to rehabilitation/ natural recovery in incomplete spinal cord injured patients. All protocols were conducted with ethical approval and all volunteers provided informed consent.
