Summary

Patients with incomplete spinal cord injury

Detailed description

The objective of this project is to verify the effects of suspended robotic gait training (Lokomat) in recovery of functional capacity of the lower limbs patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Conditions

• Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Training sessions	A group with spinal cord injury will be trained in a 30-minute session 5 times weekly for 6 weeks. Each session will be supervised by qualified staff. Patients will undergo training with gradual increase in load and speed, according to the tolerance of each patient. The body weight support progression will start at 50 % of the patient body weight. It will be changed every 2 weeks and the load will decrease 10%. The progression of speed may be accompanied during the training period.
DEVICE	Lokomat system (Hocoma AG Switzerland)	For the robot locomotion therapy, the Lokomat system (Hocoma AG Switzerland) will be used.
