Details
A randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blinded and parallel group trial (10 therapeutic sessions). Active or sham rTsMS will be combined with body weight-support treadmill training to verify the improvement of gait and sensory-motor function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. Assessments will be performed before, after 5 and 10 therapeutic sessions, though: (i) the WISCI-II Index; (ii) ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS), (iii) ASIA Lower Extremities Motor Scale (LEMS), (iv) Ashworth Modified Scale; (v) the Functional Independence Measure (SCIM-III), (vi) the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) and (vii) the Patient Global Impression of Change Scale - (PGICS).
