Cardiovascular Parameters for Lokomat Training in Chronic Incomplete SCI

US Department of Veterans Affairs·interventional·Posted Oct 11, 2006·Updated May 14, 2014

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Lokomat Training and Home stretching then Lokomat training for Paraplegia and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

This proposal investigates the hypothesis that progressive aerobic exercise with Lokomat is feasible in people with motor incomplete spinal cord injury, and three months of training will improve cardiovascular fitness and gait functionality when compared to physical therapy controls

Interventions

Lokomat Trainingdevice

The Lokomat is a robotically assisted partial weight suspension treadmill training device that has the potential to restore leg function in persons with incomplete leg paralysis.

Home stretching then Lokomat trainingother

Patients will be instructed by a physical therapist on how to perform a home stretching protocol 3 times per week for 3 months. The stretching will be monitored via telephone by the study coordinator. This will be an active control arm. After 3 months the patients will be crossed over to Lokomat training for an additional 3 months. This training will be the same as given to the individuals originally randomized to the Lokomat treatment intervention.
