Phase II Randomized Pilot Study of Body Weight Support and Treadmill Training for Chronic Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the ability of patients with and without sensorimotor loss below the thoracic spinal cord injury to execute coordinated whole-limb synergies sufficient for walking with full or partial weight support. II. Promote weight bearing, balance, and reciprocal leg movement in these patients. III. Elicit synchronized motor output within and between limbs in these patients.
