The effect of impedance-controlled robotic gait training on walking ability and quality in individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: an explorative study
Bertine M. Fleerkotte,Bram Koopman,Jaap H. Buurke,Edwin H.F. van Asseldonk,Herman van der Kooij,Herman van der Kooij,Johan S. Rietman,Johan S. Rietman +7 more
TL;DR: Robotic gait training using an impedance-controlled robot is feasible in gait rehabilitation of chronic iSCI individuals and leads to improvements in walking ability, muscle strength, and quality of walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardized assessment of walking capacity after spinal cord injury: the European network approach.
TL;DR: It is suggested that, at present, the 10MWT appears to be the best tool to assess walking capacity in SCI subjects, despite there appear to be ceiling effects, which limit its usefulness.

TL;DR: Robotic-assisted gait training is feasible and safe and may be an effective additional therapeutic option in MS patients with severe walking disabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotion After Spinal Cord Injury Depends on Constitutive Activity in Serotonin Receptors
TL;DR: While normal rats can compensate for loss of 5-HT(2) receptor activity, after severe spinal cord injury rats require constitutive activity in these 5- HT( 2) receptors to produce locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Similarity of Joint Kinematics and Muscle Demands Between Elliptical Training and Walking: Implications for Practice
TL;DR: Examination of joint kinematics and muscle activation recorded during walking and elliptical training provided evidence-based data to help guide clinical decision making related to the use of elliptical trainers across the health care continuum and into the community.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
Book
Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function
TL;DR: This text encompasses the work of Dr Jacquelin Perry in her years as a therapist and surgeon focusing on the human gait, suitable for incorporating into many athletic training programmes, university physical therapy programmes and gait workshops.

International Standards for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury. American Spinal Injury Association.
TL;DR: The International Standards Booklet for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISBWC) as mentioned in this paper is a standard for the classification of spinal cord injury. But it is not a classification of neurological disorders.
