Metabolic Responses to 4 Different Body Weight-Supported Locomotor Training Approaches in Persons With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Therefore, the latter 2 approaches hold greater promise for improving clinically relevant outcomes such as enhanced endurance, functionality, or in-home/community ambulation.
