Overground walking patterns after chronic incomplete spinal cord injury show distinct response patterns to unloading

Abstract Background Body weight support (BWS) is often provided to incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) patients during rehabilitation to enable gait training before full weight-bearing is recovered. Emerging robotic devices enable BWS during overground walking, increasing task-specificity of the lo...
