The effects of lower extremity deep sensory impairments on walking capability in patients with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury.

Conclusions: The presence of lower extremity deep sensation impairments was an important factor affecting the achievement of independent walking capabilities in patients with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury. Hence, when patients with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury undergo walking training, not only their lower extremity muscle strength but also their level of deep sensation impairment must be evaluated.
