Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) are immobilized. Unloading of the sublesional skeleton, and an inability to ambulate, results in muscle loss and bone loss. The study evaluated the effect of 100 h (5 h per week) of exoskeleton step training for non-ambulatory SCI on bone mineral density (BMD). The results have implications for length of training period and intensity of training and overall research design for future research studies.

摘要

Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) are immobilized. Unloading of the sublesional skeleton, and an inability to ambulate, results in muscle loss and bone loss. The study evaluated the effect of 100 h (5 h per week) of exoskeleton step training for non-ambulatory SCI on bone mineral density (BMD). The results have implications for length of training period and intensity of training and overall research design for future research studies.
