Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training as Physical Therapy Treatment to Spinal Cord Injury Patients

About this trial

This trial is recruiting individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries to measure the effects of body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) on walking rehabilitation. BSWTT (assisted stepping on a treadmill supported by a harness) will be tailored to each participant according to capability and comfort. The impact of BSWTT on activities of daily living and on body functions will be measured in the beginning and after the completion of the training phase. Participants will receive three sessions of 20 minutes each week for 6 weeks. Walking independence will be measured, along with a variety of body functions (e.g. spasticity, quality of life, bone density, etc.).
