Treadmill training enhances the recovery of normal stepping patterns in spinal cord contused rats.
Chad Heng,Ray D. de Leon +1 more
TL;DR: Comparing locomotor recovery in trained and untrained rats that received a severe mid-thoracic contusion of the spinal cord indicates that spinal cord contused rats can generate partial weight bearing stepping in the absence of treadmill training and suggests that the effect of treadmillTraining is to restore normal patterns of hindlimb movements following severe incomplete spinal cord injury in rats.

Soleus H-reflex modulation during body weight support treadmill walking in spinal cord intact and injured subjects
Maria Knikou,Maria Knikou,Maria Knikou,Claudia A. Angeli,Claudia A. Angeli,Christie K. Ferreira,Christie K. Ferreira,Susan J. Harkema,Susan J. Harkema +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mechanisms underlying cyclic H-reflex modulation during walking are preserved in some individuals after SCI.

Social and Environmental Enrichment Improves Sensory and Motor Recovery after Severe Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in the Rat
Yerko Berrocal,Damien D. Pearse,Amanpreet Singh,Christian M. Andrade,Jordan S. McBroom,Rocio Puentes,Mary J. Eaton,Mary J. Eaton +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of multiple-housing and the addition of climbing spaces, improved bedding and crawl toys on the sensory and motor recovery following a severe contusive SCI suggests that immediate use of SEE is able to improve overall spinal cell survival and prevent much of the sensory or motor dysfunction that accompanies contusiveSCI.

TL;DR: A metric is proposed which enables clinicians to select the best strategy for each patient, according to the patient's physical and cognitive capabilities, and will enable therapists to challenge the patient to more activity by automatically controlling the patient effort to a desired level.

Effects of training with the ReWalk exoskeleton on quality of life in incomplete spinal cord injury: a single case study
TL;DR: A positive effect of robot-assisted gait training on various areas of the QoL was shown and subsequent studies should aim to verify this effect through a higher number of patients and to different injury levels.

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.

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.
