Training with robot-applied resistance in people with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury: Pilot study.
Tania Lam,Katherine Pauhl,Amanda Ferguson,Raza N Malik,BKin,Andrei V. Krassioukov,Janice J. Eng +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Loko-R training is feasible in people with m-iSCI and there is preliminary evidence suggesting that Lokomat-R may help improve performance in skilled overground walking tasks.

Nogo-A antibodies and training reduce muscle spasms in spinal cord-injured rats.
TL;DR: In this paper, an antibody-mediated suppression of the growth inhibitory protein Nogo-A leads to functional recovery and a lower level of muscle spasms, suggesting the formation of functionally meaningful connections in the damaged spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automating activity-based interventions: the role of robotics.
TL;DR: The use of robotic devices in delivering intense, activity-based therapies that may have significant exercise benefits in individuals following stroke, spinal cord injury, and other neurological conditions is discussed.

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.
